As we all know that Reliance Jio has come up with an attractive offer, Buy One, Get One Free. Under this offer, any customer who recharges with Rs. 303 will be getting an additional data of 5GB that is worth Rs 201 for free. Also, any customer who recharges their Jio number with Rs 499 and above will be getting an additional data of 10 GB that is worth Rs 301 for free.
Bear in mind, the above offer is applicable only for Jio Prime numbers who signed up for the membership before March 31st, 2017 by paying Rs.99. Only first recharge made in April 2017 is eligible for these benefits, and the free data will only have one-month validity.
The offer was earlier reported by TechPP today morning. Taking it further, we confirmed about the offers with Reliance Jio officials, and the reports have come out to be true.
In the battle for the best telecom network in India, Reliance Jio currently has an upper hand with its cost effective plans. The carrier ensured that customers are hooked on to its network with the initial “Welcome Offer” which offered unlimited 3G/4G data plus voice calls to all its customers.
But now that the plan has concluded, Jio has announced an attractive paid plan which gives users 30GB of data for Rs 303 per month along with unlimited calling to all networks.
To avail this particular plan, customers will need to be members of Jio Prime, which costs a further Rs 99 per year. Customers will have to recharge for at least Rs 149 per month to keep their benefits in tact.
Keeping this in mind, Airtel is trying to combat this with a new wave of plans of its own. There are currently two plans that have been announced by Airtel, one which costs Rs 149 per month and the other for Rs 349. Both plans have similar benefits, with the only differentiating factor being voice calls.
With the Rs 149 plan, the network offers 15GB of 3G/4G data along with unlimited Airtel to Airtel calls. The Rs 349 plan, on the other hand, comes with the same data benefits plus unlimited voice calling to any network in the country. As you can see, this is not quite on the same pegging as Jio’s plans. However, considering that Airtel has a significantly better data network which spans across India, we're sure the customers won't mind the price difference much. Let us see what other networks will do to fight and win the war.
