Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone in the recent past have brought several new prepaid recharge plans to stay competitive in the telecom market in India. Alongside bundled data allocation and voice calling, all three telcos offer additional benefits such as free access to services such as Zee5, Hooq, Wynk Music, and JioCinema among others to attract customers.
