Reliance Jio Goes for Pricing Advantage Yet Again With Rs 2,020 Plan, But is That Enough

Reliance Jio has now discounted its yearly prepaid plan of Rs 2,199 and started offering the same benefits at Rs 2,020 on the occasion of New Year. When incumbent telcos- Vodafone and Bharti Airtel announced their revised prepaid recharges earlier this month, Jio had an upper hand thanks to the slight edge on the pricing front. However, Airtel and Vodafone Idea removed the FUP voice calling limit on off-net voice calls which has put Jio in the back foot. Jio’s prepaid plans are still affordable in the industry and are probably the cheapest ones between the private telecom operators. Nevertheless, Jio is losing the battle with the voice calling cap on off-net calls. Even the discounted yearly plan of Rs 2,020 comes with 12,000 non-Jio minutes for an entire year which is underwhelming.

Jio Rs 2,020 Annual Prepaid Plan: What it Offers to the Users?

For nearly three years now, Reliance Jio dominated the prepaid segment with its affordable and best plans, however, the domination is going down slowly as the telco starts charging for off-net voice calls. Reliance Jio has discounted its Rs 2,198 yearly prepaid plan on the occasion of New Year 2020 and the users can now avail it for Rs 2,020 for a limited period.

The benefits of the Rs 2,020 Jio prepaid recharge include unlimited Jio to Jio voice calls, 12,000 non-Jio minutes, 1.5GB data per day and 100 SMSes per day for 365 days. Jio users will also get free access to Jio apps like JioTV, JioCinema and so on. There’s no doubt that this is the best annual prepaid recharge after BSNL’s Rs 1,699 and Rs 1,999 plans, however, Jio is still lagging behind the private telcos.
