With the big news coming in that Reliance Jio has reached its 100 million customers mark, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, had more things to share with the world on Tuesday. Jio 4G, post the Happy New Year Offer which ends on 31 March, will be the last of free 4G internet to be offered by Jio.
However, Jio with the Jio Prime membership hopes that its existing customers are willing to pay a minimum amount Rs 99 for one year, to enjoy data benefits of Rs 10 per day up to 31 March 2018. So, what does the Jio Prime offer and how can you subscribe to it? Here’s all you need to know:
Jio Prime Membership:
- Pay Rs 99 for one year to unlock a plethora of benefits on Jio 4G
- Avail Jio Prime between 1 March to 31 March 2017
- Jio Prime members pay Rs 303 per month and get 1GB per day for next 12 months
- Free access to Jio services like Jio Music, Cinema
- More deals and special benefits exclusive to Jio Prime members
What is Jio Prime?
Jio Prime, as Mukesh Ambani pointed out, is Jio’s way of thanking its 100 million and over customers. By paying Rs 99 for one year, Jio Prime provides you access to introductory 4G internet plan at Rs 303 per month up to 31 March 2018.
Jio Prime will be available to existing Jio users and can be available from 1 March to 31 March 2017 using the MyJio app, Jio website or at any Reliance Digital retail store.
What Do You Get for Rs 303 per Month with Jio Prime?
With Jio Prime, Jio users are extending their use of Happy New Year Offer (1GB per day data cap) by paying Rs 303 every month. This, as Reliance Jio claimed, works out as Rs 10 per GB (30GB data = Rs 303 per month).
No other telcos have managed to match up to what Jio has announced. And by making their services chargeable, Jio has ensured most of the freeloaders on its network will move away. This could probably offer fast speed that Jio has been promising since day one.
