About data plan calculator
Mobile plans differ in price, validity and daily data. Comparing the cost per GB shows which plan is better value for how you use your phone.
How to compare
- Cost per GB = plan price ÷ total data over its validity.
- Check whether unused daily data carries over; usually it does not.
- Look at what is included besides data, such as calls, SMS and OTT subscriptions.
Pick a plan that fits
If you use less than the daily limit, a cheaper plan may do. If you often run out, the extra cost of a bigger plan may be better than a top-up.
A worked example
A plan of ₹299 for 28 days with 1.5 GB a day gives 42 GB in total, which is about ₹7.1 per GB. A ₹749 plan for 84 days with 2 GB a day gives 168 GB, about ₹4.5 per GB. The longer plan is cheaper per GB if you will really use the data.
Do you need that much
If you rarely use even 1 GB a day, the cheapest plan with enough data and validity is usually the better choice, even if its cost per GB looks higher.
