Alongside revising the long-term prepaid plans for prepaid users, Reliance Jio also launched two ‘Shorter Validity’ plans of Rs 49 and Rs 69 for JioPhone users. The two plans come bundled with off-net minutes, basic data benefit and 14 days validity. The Mukesh Ambani-led telco continues to offer other JioPhone plans like Rs 75, Rs 99, Rs 153 and long-term recharges like Rs 297 and Rs 594.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Reliance Jio brings two new Shorter Validity plans to users
- The plans come with 14 days validity and 250 non-Jio minutes
The monthly base plan is still the Rs 75 one as the newly launched shorter validity plans come with just 14 days of validity. The two new plans are already available for recharge to users. We are not expecting the new JioPhone plans to create a stir in the market as the validity is on the lower side compared to what Jio used to offer in the past.
JioPhone Rs 49 Plan:
Reliance Jio used to offer Rs 49 plan to JioPhone users in the past, but it removed the same after the tariff revision in December 2019. The same plan has now made a comeback with half validity. Benefits of the JioPhone Rs 49 plan include unlimited Jio to Jio voice calling, 250 non-Jio minutes, 2GB of 4G data and 25 SMSes, valid for a period of 14 days.
JioPhone Rs 69 Plan:
Moving onto the Rs 69 JioPhone plan, it is a brand new plan that ships with the same Jio to Jio unlimited voice calls, 250 non-Jio minutes, 25 SMSes and the data benefit will be 7GB. The validity of the plan is also 14 days from the date of recharge. As noted, both the Rs 49 and Rs 69 JioPhone plans are already available for recharge via the MyJio app and other third-party recharge portals like Paytm and Freecharge.
