Reliance Jio’s New Offer After Summer Surprise Setback
Under the plan, users will get 3 months of unlimited calls and internet on the first recharge.
Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. announced a new tariff plan for its customers under which they will get three months of unlimited calls and internet on the first recharge.
Existing Jio Prime Members can recharge with Rs 309 and Rs 509 plans for 1GB and 2GB per day high speed data for a period of three months, the company said in a media statement on Tuesday. The plans include unlimited data, free voice calls, unlimited access and access to Jio apps. The speed will reduce after the daily limit is exhausted.
New customers and non-Jio Prime members will get the benefits of Rs 309 and Rs 509 plans at Rs 408 and Rs 608 respectively. This includes a Rs 99 fee for Prime membership.
The new Dhan Dhana Dhan offer will not be available for customers who have availed the Jio Summer Surprise offer.
Under the Summer Surprise scheme, existing subscribers or new customers could become Prime members by paying Rs 99 and then avail the Summer Surprise offer by buying a Rs 303 recharge till April 15. Reliance Jio, however, withdrew the offer following an advisory by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI).
With the new offer, effectively, customers will get the same benefits as the Summer Surprise offer, for an added Rs 6.
On Monday, Vodfaone India Ltd. had written to the telecom regulator alleging that Reliance Jio is luring customers to avail the benefits of its Summer Surprise offer in “blatant violation” of the regulator’s advisory. In response, Reliance Jio had said, ''We are pained to note such continued and deliberate attempts by competitors to create unnecessary confusion in the market.”
