Reliance Jio Discontinues Popular Plans
Reliance Jio has discontinued two of its most popular prepaid plans—the ₹249 and ₹799 plans. The ₹249 plan came with a validity of 28 days and 1GB of data per day, while the ₹799 plan offered a validity of 84 days and 1.5GB of data per day. This decision by the company has come as a setback for budget-friendly and long-term data users.
Following this change, the biggest question for Jio customers is what options are now available. Experts say that users should compare existing prepaid packs and newly launched plans to choose the right option according to their needs. The company has introduced several new plans with alternative data packs and validity, which can fulfill mobile data and calling needs.
New ₹239 Plan
If you are looking for an alternative to the old ₹249 budget-friendly plan, the new ₹239 prepaid plan is suitable for you. This plan includes a validity of 22 days, 1.5GB of high-speed data per day, unlimited calling, and 100 SMS/day.
Although the validity is slightly less, this new plan is considered a satisfactory alternative to the old plan in terms of data and calling facilities. Also, this plan does not include access to Jio's digital apps, so it can be chosen only for data and calling needs.
New ₹889 Plan
For users who relied on the ₹799 long-term plan, the new ₹889 plan is available. It includes a validity of 84 days, 1.5GB of data per day, unlimited calling, 100 SMS/day, and a subscription to JioSaavn Pro.
This plan offers the benefit of additional digital services along with long-term validity. Therefore, it is considered a better option for users who want to take advantage of more data and entertainment services.
