Reliance Jio Reintroduces Rs 189 Prepaid Plan: Details, Benefits & Validity
Reliance Jio, one of India's leading telecom operators, has brought back its popular Rs 189 prepaid plan. This reintroduction falls under the 'affordable packs' category within its broader 'value pack' section, aiming to cater to customers seeking budget-friendly options. This plan, which was previously discontinued alongside the Rs 479 prepaid pack, is now available again to meet the needs of value-conscious subscribers.
Rs 189 Prepaid Plan: Key Benefits
With the Rs 189 prepaid plan, subscribers can enjoy:
- Unlimited Voice Calls: Stay connected with unlimited voice calls to any network.
- 300 Free SMS: Send text messages with 300 complimentary SMS.
- Data: 2GB of high-speed data, after which unlimited data is available at a reduced speed of 64Kbps.
- Jio App Subscriptions: Free subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud (Note: this plan does not include complimentary JioCinema Premium access).
Validity
The Rs 189 prepaid plan offers a validity period of 28 days.
Affordable Options
The Rs 189 prepaid plan is one of Jio's most affordable options, with the next tier being the Rs 198 plan. This plan offers 2GB of high-speed data per day, along with unlimited 5G data and OTT benefits like JioSaavn Pro for 14 days. The telecom company is anticipated to introduce more affordable packs with extended validity to cater to a wider range of customer needs.
New Voice-Only Prepaid Plans
Before reintroducing the Rs 189 plan, Reliance Jio launched two new voice-only prepaid plans priced at Rs 1,958 and Rs 458, offering validity periods of 336 days and 84 days, respectively. Following criticism over the potential unavailability of data add-ons, Jio adjusted the prices of these packs to Rs 1,748 and Rs 448.
The Rs 1,748 prepaid plan includes 3,600 SMS and complimentary subscriptions to JioTV, JioCinema, and JioCloud, while the Rs 448 plan provides 1,000 SMS and complimentary subscriptions to the same Jio apps.
Jio clarified that subscribers of the Rs 1,748 and Rs 448 packs can recharge with data add-on packs such as Rs 11, Rs 19, and Rs 29, which are available across all Jio recharge channels.
Why the Changes?
The recent reintroduction and revisions to prepaid plans are partly influenced by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which has requested telecom providers to offer standalone special tariff vouchers (STVs) for voice calls and SMS. This mandate has intensified competition among telecom companies as they strive to maintain their position in a price-sensitive market.
Reliance Jio's moves reflect its efforts to adapt to evolving market requirements and address diverse customer demands.
