Reliance Jio Advance Recharge or Multiple Recharge Rules
Reliance Jio allows customers to recharge for unlimited days in advance. There’s no rule restricting users to recharge only three or four times, users can do it as many times as they want. Currently, users are more perplexed or confused about what will happen to the 5G offer. A Jio executive not wishing to be named has told TelecomTalk that users can recharge with 5G unlimited plans before July 3 (even if the plans offer 1.5GB daily data), to get the unlimited 5G offer, even if their plan activates after July 3.
However, to be on the safe side, you can always recharge in advance with plans that offer 2GB daily data to ensure that you get 5G unlimited data offer from Jio regardless of the date your plan is activated.
