Jio Introduces New Prepaid Plans with Unlimited Voice Calls and Daily Data

Jio subscribers, heads up! The telecom giant has implemented a price adjustment for some of its prepaid plans, effective July 3rd, 2024. While some plans see a price increase of up to 25%, there's a silver lining for 4G users: plan benefits remain largely unchanged. However, unlimited 5G data access is no longer available on budget plans.

Changes for Jio Prepaid Plans: A Breakdown

Here's a closer look at the revised plans for Jio prepaid users with 4G connections:

• Jio Rs 249 Plan: Previously priced at Rs 209, this plan now costs Rs 249. It offers 1GB of daily 4G data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS/day, all valid for 28 days. Additionally, it includes complimentary subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud.

• Jio Rs 299 Plan: This plan has undergone a significant revision. Previously priced at Rs 239 and offering unlimited 5G data, it now costs Rs 299 and provides 1.5GB of daily 4G data along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS/day, valid for 28 days. Complimentary subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud remain included.

• Jio Rs 579 Plan: This plan sees a price jump from Rs 479 to Rs 579. While it previously offered unlimited 5G data, the revised plan provides 1.5GB of daily 4G data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS/day for a validity period of 56 days. JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud subscriptions are still bundled with this plan.

• Jio Rs 799 Plan: Previously priced at Rs 666, this plan now costs Rs 799. It continues to offer 1.5GB of daily 4G data, unlimited voice calls, and 100 SMS/day, with a validity period extended to 84 days. Free subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud are also included.

• Additional Plans: Jio has introduced two new budget-friendly plans: Rs 199 and Rs 179. These plans offer 1.5GB and 1GB of daily 4G data, respectively, along with unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS/day for validity periods of 23 days and 24 days. Both plans include complimentary subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud.

Important Note: While some plans see a price increase, the core benefits – unlimited voice calls, SMS quota, and complimentary app subscriptions – remain unchanged for 4G users.

Conclusion

Jio's recent prepaid plan adjustments offer a mixed bag for subscribers. Here's a quick recap:

• Price Increases: Expect price hikes of up to 25% on select plans.

• 4G Users Benefit: The good news for Jio users with 4G connections is that plan benefits like unlimited voice calls, SMS data, and complimentary app subscriptions remain largely unchanged.

• Unlimited 5G on Budget Plans Disappears: However, budget-conscious users looking for unlimited 5G data are out of luck. Previously available plans with unlimited 5G have been revised to offer 4G data only.

This move suggests Jio may be prioritizing promoting its 5G plans with higher data allowances. Users who require substantial 5G data might need to consider upgrading their plans.

Overall, the impact of these changes depends on your data needs and preferred network connection (4G or 5G). Carefully evaluate your data usage and choose the most suitable plan based on the revised options.
