But the cost of the plan isn't just in the regular benefits. It is the additional benefits that likely make up for most of the cost of this plan. You get free subscriptions to Netflix (mobile), Amazon Prime, JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud. The Amazon Prime Video subscription bundled with this plan is offered for an entire year.
You will have to Rs 99 extra during the first month to subscribe to Jio Prime. This plan also bundles international roaming benefits for countries including the USA and UAE. In the USA, users get 5GB of high-speed internet data and 500 minutes of voice calling (incoming and outgoing local and callback to India). For UAE, users get 1GB of high-speed data and 300 minutes of voice calling (incoming and outgoing local and callback to India).
In a nutshell, this plan looks pretty awesome in terms of benefits. But it won't be required by a majority of the population.
