Are you looking for a long-term recharge plan so that you can get peace of mind and don’t have to track when it ends? Then the yearly recharge plan is a good option. If you’re a Vi or a BSNL user or are planning to get a connection and want to check the annual prepaid recharge plan, then let me tell you that Vi offers it for Rs 2,249, while BSNL offers it for Rs 2,799. Though both plans might look similar on paper, they come with different benefits. With the Rs 2,249 package of Vi, you will get 365 days of validity, as well as a certain amount of data. With BSNL’s Rs 2,799 package, you will have daily data and unlimited calls and SMS for a year. Here’s a simple comparison of the Vi Rs 2,249 plan and the BSNL Rs 2,799 plan to help you pick the right one.
SurveyVi Rs 2,249 prepaid recharge
Vi’s Rs 299 prepaid plan offers users 30 GB of high-speed internet and 3,600 SMS for one year. Moreover, you also get unlimited local and STD calls for 365 days, making it a good long-term mobile plan, eliminating the need for frequent recharges.
Users get the plan for an effective cost of just around Rs 6.2 per day, ensuring that the users get an affordable way to stay connected with their loved ones throughout the year. However, one thing to note is that the 30GB data limit and 3,600 SMS are available across the year rather than as a daily quota.
Moreover, once the users exhaust the 30GB data limit, they can still use the internet for 50 paisa per MB. Similarly, when the SMS quota is exhausted, then the local and STD messages cost Rs 1 and Rs 1.5, respectively.

Vi Rs 2,249 vs BSNL Rs 2,799: Which one should you choose?

If you’re confused between the Vi Rs 2,249 plan and the BSNL Rs 2,799 plan, then let me tell you that if you want a plan with longer validity and are fine with less data, then you can definitely go with the Vi Rs 2,249 plan. However, the BSNL Rs 2,799 plan makes much more sense if you want more data, unlimited calling and daily SMS that too for an entire year. Though the last decision lies with you and can also be affected by the network coverage in your area.
