To stir competition ahead, telecom giant Bharti Airtel has made changes in its one prepaid pack which will directly compete with Reliance Jio's 1.5GB data daily plans. It is being known that, Airtel is now offering 1.5GB data daily at just Rs 199 recharge pack. It needs to be noted that, RJio has been known for giving cheapest 1.5GB data per day. Let's compare to who offers best plan. 

Under Airtel's Rs 199 plan, a customer will get 1.5GB data per day in 2G/3G/4G network for 28 days period. Apart from this, there is unlimited local, STD, roaming incoming and roaming outgoing calls also available. Meanwhile, 100 SMS per day is given.
