After Airtel, Idea Cellular is now offering 1GB data, unlimited calls for 28 days at Rs. 198

Idea Cellular is another Indian telecom operator that has been adversely affected by Reliance Jio's aggressive pricing strategy. In recent times, the telecom operator been losing subscribers, and one of the reason is that it is not launching new tariff plans to attract its customers, while other telecos are playing catch up with Jio.

However, now it is out with Rs. 198 plan to compete with Jio's 149 plan, and Airtel's recently launched 199 plan. It also announced Rs. 357 plan as well.

Just like Airtel and Jio, Idea's Rs. 198 plan offers only 1GB of 4G/3G/2GB data and unlimited voice calls for 28 days. The Rs. 357 plan on the other hand offers unlimited voice calls, and 1GB data per day (total 28GB data) for 28 days.

Even though Idea says the voice calls is unlimited, they are capped at 300 minutes per day and 1200 minutes per week. Also the plans are valid for Idea's 4G, 2G and 3G customers, which means, 4G customers can enjoy 4G data speed, and likewise, 2G/3G customers can enjoy data speeds at 2G and 3G respectively.

It's worth mentioning that these plans are also available for new Idea customers as well. But they will have to shell out Rs. 178 and Rs. 338.
