Idea 499 Plan Vs Airtel 499 Plan
Data Benefits: Well if we see the daily data usage in the Airtel 499 plan and Idea 499 plan then this is equal. But after the usage of daily data limit, Airtel users can use the unlimited data at a speed of 128 Kbps while in Idea the data usage will stop. This is the latest change that Airtel added in all unlimited plans.
Calling Benefits: Both the plans i.e Airtel 499 and Idea 499 offers free calls but Airtel also offers unlimited. Sounds weird but its true. There is no capping on the calls in the Airtel 499 plan. But Idea 499 plan comes with daily calling limit of 250 minutes and weekly calling limit of 1000 minutes.
Other Benefits: Both the plans offer 100 Free SMS per day. Airtel 499 plan is an open market plan while on the other side, Idea Cellular plan 499 is limited to some circles.
