Last week, Reliance Jio announced four new postpaid plans dubbed Jio Plus, starting at Rs 299 for postpaid customers. However, Jio did not provide any details about its existing plans at that time. Moreover, Jio never talks about Tariff Hikes and always shies away from commenting on the same but does the tariff hike in one way or other. Jio’s new postpaid plans went live, and it is that Jio hiked the entry-level postpaid tariff now. Let’s have a look at what has changed in this story.
New Jio Rs 299 Postpaid Plan
Jio’s entry-level postpaid plan now starts at Rs 299, according to the website. Jio’s new Rs 299 postpaid plan offers customers with 30 GB of high-speed Data, Unlimited Voice Benefits, including Local, STD and Roaming and 100 SMS per day. Eligible Jio subscribers can avail the Jio Welcome Offer with Unlimited 5G data. The plan comes bundled with in-house App offerings such as Rs JioTV, JioCinema, JioSecurity and JioCloud. Please be noted that a security deposit of Rs 375 applies for the plan and may be waived off if you fall in the select Jio criteria.
Earlier customers used to have Rs 199 as an entry-level postpaid plan, and now the postpaid plans start at Rs 299. Please be noted that there is a processing fee of Rs 99 per SIM during the activation. Customers will have the option to opt for Jio Prime membership upon subscription to any available Postpaid plan on payment of Rs. 99.
