Jio offers free additional data to select users in India once again. This free data credit of 2GB per day high-speed data comes with a validity of 5 days. Jio may be offering this little surprise to ease the woes of customers during the coronavirus lockdown. The company did roll out a similar offer in April as well wherein 2GB daily free data was offered with a validity of four days to select consumers. Jio recently also updated its “Work From Home” add-on packs with 30 days validity. Earlier, the add-on packs were valid as long as the existing base prepaid plan. However, the operator decided to revise them to add validity irrespective of the base plan.
As per OnlyTech, some of the Jio users have claimed that their accounts were credit with 2GB daily data pack for free. The users have also revealed that the additional data pack was only valid for 5 days and they were not charged any extra money for the same. Jio is randomly crediting free data packs and there is no pattern as to who will get and who will not.
It is important to note that the users have received free data on top of their existing plans. For instance, if a user is active on a plan offering 3GB data per day, he got additional 2GB daily data for five consecutive days, which means that he got a total data of 5GB per day.
As mentioned, this isn’t the first time when Jio has provided additional free 2GB daily high-speed data to select users. Apart from offering it in April, the operator has offered a similar benefit in 2018 under the Jio Celebrations Pack as well.
To offer some respite to subscribers during the pandemic, Jio Phone users got 100 minutes of voice calls and 100 SMS messages for free until April 17. It even introduced the JioPOS Lite app allowing regular customers to recharge for others and earn a commission.
Not just this, Jio also came up with a yearly plan costing Rs 2399. The plan offers 2GB data per day, unlimited Jio-to-Jio voice calling, 12,000 FUP minutes of calling to other networks. It also provides 100 SMSes per day and has a validity of 365 days. The plan includes a complimentary subscription to Jio apps.
