Mukesh Ambani says Jio won't be free after March 31, announces Jio Prime

Since the Reliance Jio’s Happy New Year offer expires on March 31, chairman Mukesh Ambani has announced another offer called ‘Jio Prime’.


After March 31, Jio will be a paid service, says Mukesh Ambani. But Jio will offer the most affordable rates, he says. Ambani says that hundreds of new plans have been launched by other telecoms and that has created a lot of confusion. But with Jio, he says, there is no confusion. After March 31, Jio will match each and every plan that other operators are offering or will offer at the same rate but with 20 per cent more data.

Ambani announces Jio Prime offer for the existing users. "All those who have shown confidence in us and are already Jio users, can get Jio Prime membership," he says. So what is this Jio Prime?

Here are the details:

1- Rs 99 per year will get the Jio Prime membership. This is only available to existing Jio users. Also users who join Jio network will be eligible for the Prime membership.

2- Once you are a Jio Prime member, you will be able to pay Rs 303 per month and get the same free Jio services that you get now. This means unlimited data (subjected to 1GB FUP limit per day) you will get for a price of Rs 303 per month for 12 months. Looks like a quite neat deal if you like Jio network.

3- The voice calls will continue to be free.
