On Tuesday, Mukesh Ambani made a big announcement by launching Jio Prime subscription plan for its existing customers. The new Prime Plan continues the existing unlimited data/call services at a very nominal price. This move has been taken in order to counter the rivals Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. With a 100 million user base till date, it is for the company to wait and see how many of the existing users retain their services with Jio.
Jio Prime subscription plan extends the unlimited services offered by the service provider for another year. The existing user base or whoever signsup before March 31, 2017 can apply for under this plan. The pan has been priced at a nominal price of Rs.99 per month. This price includes free calling but not the free data and other services.
To get the free services for a year, you need to pay Rs.303 per month to enjoy the free data. Subscription for Jio Prime is just for one month which starts on March 1 and ends on March 31, 2017. From April 1 onward, you cannot avail the bundled services at Rs.303 per month.
To get the Jio Prime plan you need to visit any of the Jio partner store or Jio App or Jio.com. A Reliance Jio statement says, "There will be many other attractive deals and offers from both Jio and its partners for the Jio Prime members." Mukesh Ambani said that the Jio Prime plan is valued at Rs.10000.
You will be ported to a Jio postpaid or prepaid plan if you do not opt for Jio Prime. You can still enjoy the free calling services but for other plans you need to pay for data and other services.
