The company will have a variety of pay options that subscribers can choose from. Users can continue to have free-calling facility with an entry monthly post-paid tariff of Rs 149 (that gives 300 MB data), Rs 499 (4 GB data), and this plan can go up to Rs 4,999 that offers 75 GB of 4G data.
Jio also announced a new offer called ‘Prime’ that promises higher benefits. A membership of Prime can be availed by Jio customers throughout March and will cost Rs 99 annually. Under this, a customer gets free calling and unlimited data downloads for a full year by paying a fixed tariff of Rs 303 per month. Also, a Prime member will be entitled for higher data benefits if he chooses to go for Jio’s regular tariff plans and not Rs 303 offering.
“Prime members can get the full bouquet of Jio’s media services … worth over Rs 10,000 for an annual subscription… completely free… for one full year,” Ambani said.
He also said the company will match the highest-selling tariffs of rival operators, with a promise to provide 20% more data. Jio had been one of the key catalyst to boost data consumption across the country. “Jio users consumed more than 100 crore GB of data on the network. That is more than 3.3 crore GB a day,” Ambani said.
