Airtel Rs 185 vs Airtel Rs 199 prepaid plan: Which one is better?

While the company has introduced a voice-only plan starting at just Rs 185, it might not be the best plan to choose, as the company has an Rs 199 plan that offers better benefits with a minimal price increase. For an extra Rs 14, you get 2GB of data with the plan for the entire validity period.

In addition to that, the plan comes with creative and security benefits, making the small price difference even more worthwhile. With all the additional benefits, I believe that the Rs 199 plan would be the preferable option. It should be mentioned that the Airtel Rs 199 plan can only be availed via the Airtel. Thanks, app or the Airtel website.
