The Jio ₹3,999 prepaid plan offers unlimited 5G data, 100 SMS per day, unlimited voice calls, and 2.5GB of 4G data per day with a validity of 365 days. Additional benefits include subscriptions to JioTV and FanCode.

Airtel Annual Recharge Plans for 2026

Airtel also offers two annual plans, similar to Jio. Earlier, it used to offer an affordable ₹1,999 plan, which was suitable for people who did not require daily data, as calling and other benefits were included. However, this plan was not listed at the time of writing. Now, let's take a look at Airtel's annual plans.

Airtel's ₹3,599 plan offers unlimited 5G data, 2GB daily data, 100 SMS per day, and unlimited voice calls with a validity of 365 days. It also includes 12 months of Perplexity Pro AI, free Hello Tunes, and LIVE alerts under Airtel Warning.

Vi Annual Recharge Plans for 2026

Vi offers several annual recharge plans, but not all plans are available in every region. The plans vary by location, so you need to select your region to check the available annual plans. Now, let's take a look at the annual recharge offers from Vi.

BSNL Annual Recharge Plans for 2026

BSNL's annual plans also vary by region, and not all plans are available in every circle. BSNL plans are also cheaper compared to other operators, but they do not offer additional benefits such as OTT or AI subscriptions. Now, let's take a look at the annual recharge plans offered by BSNL.

BSNL ₹2,399 Plan

This annual plan offers unlimited voice calls, unlimited data (speed restricted to 40 kbps after 2.5GB/day), and 100 SMS per day.

There are also a few other plans with 300-day and 330-day validity, priced at ₹1,499 and ₹1,999, respectively. However, these two plans are not applicable in the Mumbai circle.

While annual plans are beneficial, many people do not want to spend a large amount at one time. They can instead opt for quarterly plans, which also offer several benefits.
