After entirely taking the prepaid data tariff segment by storm, Reliance Jio has slowly transitioned to the postpaid data segment this May by introducing the new Rs 199 postpaid plan. Reliance Jio with its competitive pricing is going to pose a threat to other telecom operators, and as one would have expected other telcos have already revised their old postpaid plans or launched new postpaid plans to compete with Reliance Jio. Just like the prepaid segment, the postpaid segment also remains the most competitive in the budget category of Rs 500 or below. Here are some of the must check out postpaid plans under the price point of Rs 400.
Reliance Jio Rs 199 Postpaid Plan

The postpaid package by Reliance Jio has been termed to be ‘pre-activated’ meaning that users won’t have to go through the hassle of activating all services separately. Another highlighting thing about this plan is the pre-activated international calling. Speaking of data, the plan bundles 25GB data per month, combined with unlimited calling and SMS. Reliance Jio has also outlined the Rs 2-2-2 rates and Rs 10-10-10 rates for international calling wherein users will be able to send SMS for Rs 2 per message, call at Rs 2 per minute and then access data at Rs 2 per MB for select countries.
