To take on the Jio juggernaut, Idea Cellular has upgraded its Rs. 309 plan within a month of its launch to offer 50 percent more data. Instead of the 1GB per day, buyers of the Rs. 309 Idea plan will get 1.5GB daily data allocation. This brings up the total bundled data for the validity period from 28GB to 42GB. Other details of the plan remain the same as before. Idea’s new plan comes just a few days after Jio launched the Rs. 199 plan, which offers 1.2GB data per day as well as other freebies for 28 days.

Idea subscribers opting the revised Rs. 309 pack will get outgoing calls with a cap of 250 minutes per day and 1,000 minutes per week. The subscribers will need to pay one paisa per second after exhausting the call cap. Similarly, free SMS count will be limited to 100 and post the limit, the subscribers will be charged at Re. 1 per local SMS. Along with these, subscribers get free outgoing calls on roaming, and validity of 28 days.
