Reliance Jio, India's largest telecom operator, recently moved the tariffs upwards making services more expensive for customers. It wasn't just the price of regular plans that went up, but the telco also modified its free 5G offer. While Jio continues to offer free 5G services to both prepaid and postpaid mobile consumers, the telco has restricted it to plans offering 2GB daily data only. Earlier, unlimited 5G was offered with every plan that cost Rs 239 or more. So here, today, we will talk about the cheapest 5G prepaid plan from Reliance Jio.
This plan costs Rs 198. This is not just Jio's cheapest 5G prepaid plan, but also the industry's cheapest 5G plan. Let's look at its benefits.

Reliance Jio's Rs 198 prepaid plan comes with unlimited voice calling, 100 SMS/day, and 2GB of daily data. The service validity of this plan is only 14 days. This plan is likely targeted at customers who can't pay a lot for 5G, but still want to experience it. The additional benefits of this plan are JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud. The 4G internet speed reduces to 64 Kbps after the consumption of FUP (fair usage policy) data.

This plan was introduced by Jio much after the tariff hikes. If this plan was not there, the cheapest 5G plan would be the Rs 349 offering from Jio. Low-paying customers upgrading to a smartphone would not easily pay Rs 349 plan for 28 days. Thus, to let low-paying customers experience 5G, Jio likely brought the Rs 198 plan. This enables users to experience 5G, and Jio to keep earning more from its customers. Jio's ARPU (average revenue per user) reached Rs 191.5 after the tariff hike, which is only set to grow from here for the coming quarters.
