Where they differ
- Same price, different data: at some price points one gives more data per day than the other — compare the data column, not just the price.
- Plan shapes: Jio offers more in-between validities (56, 70, 90, 98 days); Airtel leans on 28, 84 and 365 days, plus low-data long plans for people who mostly call.
- Extras: both bundle streaming or app subscriptions with some plans. Count them only if you would pay for them anyway.
- 5G: both offer unlimited 5G on eligible plans in areas they cover; check that your phone supports their 5G bands.
What should decide it
The network in your home and office. A plan ₹20 cheaper is no bargain if calls drop indoors. Borrow a friend's SIM for a day, or check each operator's coverage map, before you port.
Switching from one to the other
Send PORT and your mobile number to 1900 to get a porting code, then visit the other operator's store (or book a SIM delivery) with your ID. Your number usually moves within a few working days; there is no charge.
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.
Oxon Fintech does not sell recharges or collect bill payments. Plan prices and benefits are the operators' own, as listed on the date above; they change often and can differ by telecom circle, so confirm in the operator's app before paying.
