Last year in October, Reliance Jio converted all its regular talk time plans to IUC Top-Ups. As the name itself suggests, IUC Top-Ups are aimed at the prepaid users who want to make off-net voice calls, meaning voice calls to other networks like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, BSNL and MTNL. Reliance Jio has six IUC Top-Up vouchers as of this writing priced at Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 50, Rs... Read More
Broadband service is the next target of Indian ISPs as it is growing day by day at a rapid pace. Reliance Jio has also joined the race with their JioFiber service last year. As we already know, JioFiber or Jio Broadband plans are not that impressive when compared to those of ACT Fibernet and Airtel Xstream Fibre. However, JioFiber has an inexpensive weekly plan that costs just Rs 199 and... Read More
Reliance Jio is not the de-facto option for consumers anymore as the telco is not providing unlimited voice calling, no 365 days tariff plans and even the total number of prepaid plans are also very limited when compared to the likes of Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Last week, Jio brought back the Rs 4,999 long-term prepaid plan offering benefits for 360 days. Since it is a long validity plan... Read More
Bharti Airtel, which is always said to be India's fastest operator, has again managed to beat Vodafone Idea Limited and Reliance Jio in the average download speed test.

Reliance Jio suddenly discontinued their Rs 4,999 long-term recharge plan in December last year after the prepaid tariff revision. And now, Jio brought back this plan again as their long-term option. If you look at their long-term pack lineup, three packs are starting from Rs 1,299 and ending at Rs 4,999. While the Rs 1,299 and Rs 2,121 prepaid plans offer benefits for 336 days, the newly launched Rs 4,999... Read More
Trai has been planning to fix floor prices from a long time now as the telecom industry is facing substantial financial distress because of massive AGR burden. Recently, Reliance Jio addressed Trai and suggested that increase in floor prices must be done gradually and fixed at Rs 15 per GB which must eventually increase to Rs 20 per GB after a period of six to nine months. As per the... Read More
The growing cases of deadly Corona Virus seem to be increasing troubles for multiple nations across the world. Countries like the USA and Italy seem to be in crisis mode already, and some effect of it has already touched the borders of India as fears of the virus spread grow. This is likely to affect the telecom business as well. Especially for all the vendors that supply telecom equipment to... Read More
Telecom operators have been facing a lot of trouble because of default in payment of AGR dues. However, Bharti Airtel is clearing off the burden. The telco giant has paid Rs 8,004 crore to DoT as their statutory dues in their second tranche. With the current payment, Bharti Airtel has paid a total amount of Rs 18,004 towards their AGR dues. As per their self-assessment, Bharti Airtel has deposited Rs... Read More
Reliance Jio is currently offering four data vouchers to its prepaid subscribers across the country. As the name of the plans itself suggests, they act as data top-ups, meaning a user will get extra data on top of the existing prepaid plan. These Jio 4G Data Vouchers come in really handy to the users who exhaust their daily data limit on a regular basis. Right now, Reliance Jio has Rs... Read More
Well, the inevitable has happened at last. State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has added more subscribers than any other telecom operator in India in December 2019. After the prepaid tariff hike in December 2019, everyone expected that BSNL would lead the subscriber addition chart, which is true if the subscription data released by Trai is anything to go by. During the month of December, BSNL added 4.2 lakh new... Read More
Last week, Reliance Jio made a major move and reduced the validity of its yearly plan to 336 days. Jio's newly launched Rs 2,121 prepaid plan is now being marketed as the one with 12 months validity, and why not, because telecom operators always stated that a month for prepaid users would be 28 days and not like postpaid users. It can also be noticed that Reliance Jio has reduced... Read More
Alongside revising the long-term prepaid plans for prepaid users, Reliance Jio also launched two 'Shorter Validity' plans of Rs 49 and Rs 69 for JioPhone users.
