Reliance Jio on Friday said it will roll out a new offer for new and existing JioPhone customers from March 1. The JioPhone 2021 offer will give them access to up to two years of ‘unlimited’ services in the form of voice calls and data benefits plus a new JioPhone handset at a price of Rs 1,999. Jio said that existing feature phone users in India continue to be overcharged with a competitive plan from rival telecom networks going for as much as Rs 5,000.
The two-year plan that Jio has announced costs Rs 1999. Now in just Rs 1999, you will get a handset along with unlimited voice calls, unlimited data which would include 2GB data per month. This means that once you get the phone, you will not have to either recharge your phone for voice calling or for data for the next two years. This will save a lot of your money and you will be freed from the monthly recharge process. For internet data, you will get a monthly 2GB data for the two years. Once you have consumed the entire data, the Internet speed will be dropped to 64Kbps.’
Jio is broadly launching two types of bundles for new JioPhone customers. The first one comes with a validity of two years or 24 months. By paying a sum of Rs 1,999, new JioPhone customers will get a JioPhone feature phone along with unlimited voice calls and 2GB 4G data every month. The other bundle will have a validity of one year or 12 months. By paying a sum of Rs 1,499, new JioPhone customers will get a JioPhone feature phone along with unlimited voice calls and 2GB 4G data every month.
Jio had also announced a plan for the existing Jio Phone users at Rs 749. This plan does not include a handset but comes with unlimited voice calls, unlimited internet data for 12 months. Users will get 2GB of data every month for one year but if the monthly data is exhausted the speed would be reduced to 64Kbps.
Now if you look at the Rs 1999 Plan offered by Jio. It helps users save a lot of money especially if you are planning to buy a feature phone. If recharge your phone with the cheapest Jio Phone plan that comes with 3 GB monthly data along with unlimited calling, you would end up spending Rs 75 per month. And if you multiply Rs 75 with 24, you would end up spending Rs 1800 only on the recharge pack. However, with the Rs 1999, you are also getting a new handset that can perform the basic features.
