While Airtel and Vodafone have already launched their new plans, Jio will increase tariffs of its all-in-one mobile prepaid plans from December 6. The prepaid plans provided by all the three telecom operators come with more or less same validity period, which is, monthly, three-month basis and yearly.

While Reliance Jio's Rs 199 plan will offer 1.5 GB per day data along with other benefits for a validity period of 1-month, Airtel and Vodafone Idea provides the same benefits in Rs 248 and Rs 249 packs respectively, Jio said. Month here denotes 28 days across operators.
Reliance Jio will offer 2-month packs priced at Rs 399 and Rs 444 with 1.5 GB and 2 GB per day data respectively. On the other hand, there are no 2-month plans being offered by Airtel and Vodafone Idea, Jio claimed.Â
