A new month is upon us, and if you are looking for mobile and broadband plans with free OTT subscriptions bundled in, this might be a good time. The three main private telecom operators in India now, Airtel, Reliance Jio and VI all have various plans that come with Amazon Prime and, Disney+ Hotstar subscriptions. 

If you need Netflix too in the scheme of things, it is available only as part of premium plans. This has been the case always, as Netflix plans are among the costliest in India. It doesn't make commercial sense for telecom companies to offer Netflix with their budget plans. In general, if the plan has Netflix offer then it is most likely that all other popular OTT platforms will also be part of the bundle.  

Here's a quick list of plans from Airtel, Reliance Jio, and VI that offer free OTT subscriptions.
