So, Jio will now discontinue the Summer Surprise plan. However, the company clearly stated that the customers who have already enrolled in the plan would enjoy the plan benefits for four months, as promised earlier at the time of the announcement. And today, Jio issued another statement saying that users can enjoy the benefits till they issue the offer discontinuation statement officially, giving a hint to users to recharge with the plan immediately.
Also, Reliance Jio started pushing notifications via MyJio app for users saying that they can enjoy the services if they recharge quickly. But the real question still remains – what’s next for users of Jio after the discontinuation of Jio Summer Surprise plan?
Well, Jio has pulled down only the summer offer, but they haven’t changed the deadline of JioPrime subscription plan. Jio customers can enroll the JioPrime membership of Rs. 99 till April 15. But, here’s a catch. None of the recharge portals including the company’s MyJio app doesn’t have a separate recharge plan of Rs. 99 to recharge just the JioPrime membership plan. So, it’s obvious that Jio is forcing users to recharge with the bundled plans of Rs. 402 and Rs. 598 plans.
As of now, there’s no estimated timeline for Jio’s suspension of the plan, and the official statement read that the company requires some time to discontinue the plan fully. Mukesh Ambani, back in February announced the JioPrime membership plan with attractive tariff plans. That said, once Jio completely suspends the summer surprise plan; users have to rely on the JioPrime plans, which are already live.
