Five ways to pay less
- Buy the longest validity you can afford: the 30-day cost of 84- and 365-day plans is lower than monthly plans.
- Don't pay for data you don't use: check your phone's data usage for the last month. If you use under 5 GB, a low-data plan saves a lot.
- Use Wi-Fi at home: with home broadband, a calling-only or low-data plan may be enough.
- Count the extras honestly: a ₹50 dearer plan with a streaming app is only worth it if you'd pay for that app anyway.
- Keep a second SIM on the cheapest plan: calling-only plans keep a number alive for about ₹150–₹170 for 30 days.
Before you recharge
- Recharge only through the operator's app or website, a UPI app or your bank — never through a link in an SMS or WhatsApp message promising a "free recharge" or a huge discount. Those links steal UPI PINs and card details.
- Check the plan in your own circle: some plans and prices differ by state.
- "Unlimited" data has a daily limit: after your daily quota, speed usually drops to about 64 kbps until midnight.
- Unlimited 5G comes only on plans the operator names, and only where its 5G network reaches you and your phone supports it.
