Jio vs Airtel vs Vodafone latest offers: Choose the best 4G data plan

Reliance Jio started the price wars in India's telecom sector when it started out two years ago and since then consumers have been the king. Competition has made the incumbents Bharti Airtel and Vodafone also bring down prices. Over the last six months, all three companies have made substantial changes in their plans to make them more competitive and attractive. That's a big change from just a few months ago when Airtel and Vodafone were not offering even free SMS facility to consumers.
