As one would expect, Reliance Jio has followed suit to its rival telcos Airtel and Vi to hike the prices of its prepaid plans in India. The move, as mentioned, comes after Airtel and Vi (Vodafone Idea) increased the prices of their prepaid plans earlier last week. The new prepaid plans have seen a price hike of up to 20%. Here’s a look at the new Jio prepaid plan prices.
Jio’s Rs 75 plan is now priced at Rs 91. It offers 3GB of data, unlimited calls, and 50 SMSs for 28 days. One thing worth noting is that even though there’s an increase in price, the Rs 91 is still the cheapest plan when compared with the Rs 99 Airtel and Vi plans. It also offers more benefits than them.
The Rs 399 plan and the Rs 444 plan are now priced at Rs 479 and Rs 533 in India, respectively. While the former offers 1.5GB of data per day, unlimited calls, and 100 SMS a day, the latter offers 2GB of data/day, unlimited calls, and 100 SMS/day. Both come with a validity of 56 days.
It is revealed that the new Jio prepaid plan prices will come into effect, starting December 1. Users will be able to choose the new plans via the company’s site, app, and other third-party channels.
