Postpaid Plans from Airtel and Vodafone Idea: Where They Excel? What are the Advantages of Prepaid Plans? Prepaid or Postpaid: Which is Better Right Now? This question has been in several users mind for a while now and the confusion is only getting bigger with each passing day. Assume the prepaid plan of Rs 499 and postpaid plan of Rs 499. For one year, excluding the taxes, the postpaid charges will be Rs 5,988, and for the same period, prepaid charges would be Rs 1,996 (for 328 days) and one-month recharge of Rs 249 plan make the overall charges to Rs 2,245. Yes, consumers are saving a lot with prepaid plans, but now, let’s count the charges of OTT subscriptions being given to the users. If we look in this way, the postpaid plans offer better value because prepaid users of Airtel will have to purchase these OTT subscriptions separately, but postpaid plans come bundled with these services for free. Lastly, postpaid plans also provide add-on connections which will save additional costs for the users and there’s data rollover facility as well, which comes in extremely handy.
