If you’re in India and looking to get free Netflix with your carrier plan, your options are quite limited. This is largely due to Netflix being the most premium and expensive OTT platform compared to its peers, making it challenging to bundle with telecom plans, especially prepaid ones. Recent tariff hikes have further increased the cost of access.
Currently, Jio and Airtel are the two telecom providers offering prepaid plans that include Netflix. However, these plans only provide access to the basic Netflix plan, which costs Rs 199 per month if purchased separately. The basic Netflix plan allows you to watch and download content on a single screen in 720p HD resolution.
Jio prepaid plans with Netflix
Jio Rs 1,299 prepaid plan
Jio offers two prepaid plans that include Netflix. The more affordable option is priced at Rs 1,299 (up from Rs 1,099). This plan provides 2GB of high-speed data per day, with a total validity of 84 days, giving you a total of 168GB of data. Additional benefits include unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS per day, and complimentary subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema (non-premium), and JioCloud. Notably, if you’re in a 5G-enabled area and have a 5G-compatible smartphone, you can enjoy virtually unlimited 5G data.
Jio Rs 1,799 prepaid plan
The second option from Jio is the Rs 1,799 prepaid plan (previously Rs 1,499). This plan offers the same basic benefits as the Rs 1,299 plan but with more data. It includes 3GB of high-speed data per day, totaling 252GB over 84 days. Like the Rs 1,299 plan, it features unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS per day, and the same complimentary subscriptions. The inclusion of unlimited 5G data makes it an attractive option for heavy data users.
Airtel prepaid plan with Netflix
Airtel Rs 1,798 prepaid plan
Airtel has a single prepaid plan that includes Netflix, priced at Rs 1,798 (up from Rs 1,499). This plan appears to be a direct competitor to Jio’s Rs 1,799 plan, offering similar benefits. Subscribers get 3GB of high-speed data per day, with a total validity of 84 days, amounting to 252GB of data. The plan also includes unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS per day, and access to the basic Netflix plan. Additionally, it provides access to unlimited 5G data, which is not very common in Airtel’s other plans.
