Reliance Jio International Roaming Plans
Jio says users can enjoy international roaming services as soon as they land in any country abroad; they simply need to recharge their mobile with an IR plan before travelling. Jio highlights one-click activation, real-time usage tracking, coverage in over 160 countries, and low PayGo rates as service benefits.
Jio International Roaming (IR) Packs
Jio Global Packs
Jio offers a Global Pack for IR usage, which includes monetary value that users can use for calling, SMS, and data while on International Roaming. These packs come in two variants: Global Packs with Wi-Fi calling and those without Wi-Fi calling. The IR service, available in over 150 (specifically 159) countries, that Jio claims is only applicable to these two packs.
The Rs 1,101 Global Pack without Wi-Fi calling provides IR usage of Rs 933.05 with a validity of 28 days. Standard rates of the destination country will apply for calls (incoming/outgoing), SMS (outgoing), and data on this pack.
The Rs 1,102 Global Pack with Wi-Fi calling offers IR usage of Rs 933.90 with a validity of 28 days. Jio says that customers can benefit from Wi-Fi calling, which includes incoming calls from any country at Re 1 per min, outgoing calls to India at Re 1 per min, and video calls to any Jio number at Re 1 per min (with data deducted from the existing base plan).
As a prepaid customer, you must purchase an IR pack at least once to activate IR services and use IR services at PayGo rates. These packs essentially serve as talk time packs, where you receive monetary value, and your IR usage will be deducted according to standard rates. Additionally, both packs offer five free international SMS that can be used to send ISD SMS while in India.
