As mentioned, for new Jio users, the JioPrime membership continues to be available at an annual membership fee of Rs 99. And the new subscribers should be considered from April 1, 2018. Reliance Jio has been offering different benefits for the JioPrime membership users. The highlight offering is the affordable tariff plans for the Prime subscribers. Last year’ subscription was set to expire on March 31, 2018.

For non-JioPrime membership users, Jio has a different set of plans, which doesn’t match with the benefits of JioPrime exclusive plans. This was always coming from Reliance Jio as the telco is still looking to provide dominate the Indian tariff plan market. Currently, Jio is offering cheapest 4G tariff plans in the market.

For example, the telco has a Rs 149 prepaid plan that gives 1.5GB data per day, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day for 28 days. It’s been three months since Jio introduced these plans and still incumbent telcos did not match with Jio’s offering, and subscribers have stopped expecting from them.
