As one would expect, Reliance Jio has followed suit to its rival telcos Airtel and Vi to hike the prices of its prepaid plans in India. The move, as mentioned, comes after Airtel and Vi (Vodafone Idea) increased the prices of their prepaid plans earlier last week. The new prepaid plans have seen a price hike of up to 20%. Here’s a look at the new Jio prepaid plan prices.
New Jio Prepaid Plans Prices Detailed
Jio’s Rs 75 plan is now priced at Rs 91. It offers 3GB of data, unlimited calls, and 50 SMSs for 28 days. One thing worth noting is that even though there’s an increase in price, the Rs 91 is still the cheapest plan when compared with the Rs 99 Airtel and Vi plans. It also offers more benefits than them.
The Rs 129 plan is now Rs 155 and offers 2GB of data, unlimited calls, and 300 SMSs for 28 days.
