Reliance Jio is the only telecom service provider in India that is currently offering In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) plans. The in-flight packs from Jio are available to both postpaid and prepaid customers of the telco, and they start at Rs 499. With in-flight connectivity plans, customers can enjoy data and outgoing calling benefits even when travelling in Jio’s 22 partner airlines. Airlines like Vistara and Indigo will soon implement in-flight connectivity in India as well as the Union civil aviation ministry lifted restrictions earlier this year. Once the IFC service goes official in India, the Jio IFC packs will also be applicable in local airspace. Right now, Jio has partnered with popular airlines like Aer Lingus, Air Serbia, Cathay Pacific and so on, to allow customers to enjoy data, SMS and outgoing calling services.
Jio In-Flight Connectivity Plans: Benefits Detailed
Reliance Jio has three in-flight connectivity plans priced at Rs 499, Rs 699 and Rs 999. Starting with the Rs 499 plan, it offers a customer 250MB of data, 100 minutes of outgoing voice calls and 100 SMSes for one day. The Rs 699 IFC plan allows the users to consume up to 500MB of data, 100 minutes of outgoing voice calls and 100 SMSes for one day. Lastly, we have the Rs 999 IFC plan that comes with 1GB of data, 100 SMSes and 100 minutes of outgoing voice calls.
The telco is not offering incoming voice calling facility which is expected. Customers can make up to 100 minutes of outgoing voice calls while travelling.
