Reliance Jio has launched its new prepaid recharge plan priced at Rs 198, offering users unlimited 5G data for 14 days. This plan stands out as one of the most affordable options for those wanting access to high-speed data.
Alongside the unlimited 5G data, the Rs 198 plan also includes 2GB of 4G data daily, unlimited calls, and 100 SMS per day. All of these benefits will remain valid for the entire 14-day period.
Enhancing its appeal, the plan provides users complimentary access to popular Jio apps like JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud. This combination makes it particularly attractive for users who enjoy streaming and cloud storage.
For those considering long-term plans, Jio offers a Rs 349 plan as well, which is available for 28 days and offers unlimited 5G data similar to the Rs 198 option. Therefore, if one were to opt for the Rs 198 plan twice within the month, the total would amount to Rs 396, making the Rs 349 plan more economical for those needing extended coverage.
The new Rs 198 plan suits users who require temporary but significant data boosts. It provides flexibility without tying them to long-term commitments, which are often required by some other telecom providers.
When compared to Airtel's pricing, Jio remains the frontrunner on affordability. Airtel's cheapest 5G plan starts at Rs 379, yet it only mirrors the benefits found within Jio’s Rs 349 plan for 28 days.
For someone seeking temporary data solutions, Jio's Rs 198 option presents itself as highly budget-friendly. It appeals to users with short-term needs without forcing them to adopt lengthy contracts.
It’s important to note though, even though Jio markets the plan as offering unlimited data, it does come with fair usage policies (FUP). After users reach the limit of high-speed data usage, the internet speed may be reduced to 64 Kbps to manage network congestion.
Recharging with Jio is straightforward. Users have the option to recharge via the MyJio app, or through various third-party platforms such as Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe.
While these external platforms provide convenience, they may charge small fees for their services. Hence, for those aiming to save every penny, the MyJio app might be the best option for recharges.
Overall, Jio’s new Rs 198 prepaid plan is shaping up to benefit many users seeking affordable options for high-speed internet access. With its unlimited data offers, other involved perks, and straightforward recharge methods, it’s bound to catch the attention of many smartphone users.
