Watch Netflix and Amazon Prime Video for free
Well, the idea is to buy postpaid plans from Jio or Airtel to get free access to popular OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
People who are paying for postpaid plans will be able to get access to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video for free. The prepaid users of Jio and Airtel will have to switch to postpaid because the telecom operators don’t have any plans for them that offer these two subscriptions.
Jio plan: The Rs 699 postpaid plan of Jio comes with free access to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, JioCinema, and JioTV. It supports unlimited voice calling benefits, 100GB of total data, and 100SMS per day on a monthly basis. One can also add up to 3 family members to this plan and each one of them will get additional 5GB data, as per the official listing of the Jio website.
Airtel plan: Users can buy the Rs 1,199 prepaid plan, which gives free access to Netflix basic monthly subscription, Amazon Prime membership for 6 months at no extra cost, Disney+ Hotstar mobile for 1 year at no extra cost, Handset protection, Xstream Mobile Pack and Wynk premium.
A customer also gets an option to include three regular voice connections for family members. This plan also supports unlimited calls, 240GB monthly data (150GB for primary connection + 30GB for each addon that customers add) with rollover facility of up to 200GB. The plan also gives 100 SMS per day, apart from unlimited calling on a monthly basis.
