Reliance Jio has introduced an innovative “ultimate 5G upgrade voucher” priced at ₹601, offering unlimited 5G data for one year. This new offering is designed to cater specifically to users on the ₹299 prepaid plan, which provides 1.5GB of daily data. The voucher allows users on non-5G plans to enjoy seamless, unlimited 5G connectivity at an economical rate, bridging the gap between affordability and advanced network technology.
The launch of this voucher comes in the wake of Jio’s tariff hike on July 3, 2024. Before the hike, unlimited 5G benefits were accessible through Jio’s Welcome Offer on plans priced at ₹239 or above. Post-hike, the eligibility threshold was raised, restricting unlimited 5G access to plans offering 2GB or more of daily data, such as the ₹349 plan. This adjustment left users on lower-tier plans seeking alternatives for accessing 5G services.
In July 2024, Jio unveiled a series of upgrade plans to ensure users on non-5G plans could unlock unlimited 5G access. These included booster packs priced at ₹51, ₹101, and ₹151, each offering a combination of additional 4G data and unlimited 5G benefits.
₹51 Plan: Offers 3GB of additional 4G data alongside unlimited 5G connectivity.
₹101 Plan: Includes 6GB of 4G data with unlimited 5G.
₹151 Plan: Provides 9GB of 4G data in addition to unlimited 5G access.
These packs provide flexible options for users to upgrade their connectivity without entirely changing their base plans.
Jio is promoting the ₹601 voucher as a “gift” for seamless connectivity through its MyJio app. Users can purchase and activate this voucher directly via the app, making it easy to unlock unlimited 5G. However, this offer is exclusive to users on the ₹299 prepaid plan or higher, ensuring that the benefits align with current eligibility standards.
Jio has also introduced standalone data-only options to complement its 5G upgrade plans. The ₹11 plan, offering 10GB of data for one hour, stands out as the most affordable in this lineup. Other options include:
₹49 Plan: An economical choice for short-term data needs.
₹175, ₹219, ₹289, and ₹359 Plans: Tailored for users seeking more extensive data without voice or SMS benefits.
These plans provide flexibility for users with varying connectivity demands, ensuring Jio’s offerings cater to diverse preferences.
By rolling out the ₹601 unlimited upgrade voucher and standalone data options, Jio is reshaping the accessibility of 5G in India. These plans are designed to lower the entry barrier for 5G connectivity, ensuring affordability without compromising quality. With enhanced flexibility and targeted offerings, Jio is positioning itself as a leader in driving widespread adoption of next-generation network services across India.
This strategy reflects Jio’s commitment to innovation and inclusivity, ensuring users from all segments can experience the full potential of 5G connectivity.
