Aircel now offers 84GB data and unlimited calls for 84 days at Rs. 348

To counter Jio's latest plans, Aircel is launching a new FRC (First Recharge Coupon) for its prepaid subscribers. The teleco's new FRC 348 plan offers subscribers unlimited local & STD calls, and 1GB data everyday for 84 days. Note that the speed are capped to 3G only. The validity is set for 84 days.

The new plan is available only in UP East at the moment, however, it is expected to expand to other telecom circle where Aircel operates. All Aircel subscriber with 2G, 3G or 4G handsets can avail the offer.

Aircel says "FRC 348 is by far the best value proposition in the market as the offer is open for all customers with all types of handsets be it 2G, 3G or 4G. This pack is especially designed considering the customers’ need for accessing high volumes of data to seamlessly connect with their family members through video chatting, social networking or streaming videos as well as making voice calls without worrying about their balance." 

Reliance Jio recently introduced a new Rs. 399 plan, that gives Jio Prime users 1GB data per day, unlimited calls, and free access to Jio suite of apps for 84 days. Even though Aircel's plan is priced cheaper than Jio's, the latter has one advantage: speed. Jio offers 4G download speed, whereas Aircel's speed is limited to 3G.
