Meanwhile, The major telecom companies in India, such as Jio, Airtel, and Vi, have recently updated their recharge plans. On average, these companies have increased their tariff plans by 15 percent and reduced the data and calling benefits available with existing plans. This means that users who rely on data booster plans to supplement their daily internet quota will face higher charges.
For those who recharge with lump sum data plans, it is advisable to set ‘Data Warning’ and ‘Data Limit’ on their phones. The ‘Data Warning’ feature will alert you when your data usage approaches the set limit, while the ‘Data Limit’ feature will stop internet access once the limit is exceeded.
These features can help prevent data wastage and ensure you have data available for emergencies. They also allow you to monitor if you are overusing your data. If you find this feature useful, here’s how you can set data usage limits on your smartphone.
