Vodafone vs Reliance Jio vs Airtel: Best prepaid recharge plans under Rs 200

There’s no denying the fact that Reliance Jio’s arrival has completely changed the Indian telecom industry. With its dirt-cheap voice-data combo plans, the Mukesh Ambani-led telco completely took other players by surprise, who had to reduce their tariffs (especially for data) to prevent customers from jumping ship. The tariff war thus started is still going on, with telcos coming up with new plans every other day to one-up the competition.

If you’re a prepaid subscriber, there are many recharge plans you can choose from. The three big telecom operators – Vodafone, Reliance Jio, and Airtel – have some really lucrative offerings, especially under the Rs 200 price bracket. But which of the three offers the best?
