Reliance Jio, India’s largest cellular operator, has announced a Rs 259 plan with a calendar month validity to make it easier for prepaid customers to remember only one recharge date every month. Jio is the first company in the business to provide a prepaid plan with a calendar month validity.
An Indian telecommunications company headquartered in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is a subsidiary of Jio Platforms. It runs a nationwide LTE network that serves all 22 telecom circles. Jio presently offers 4G and 4G+ service, but it is striving to expand to 5G and 6G in the future.
According to material on Jio’s website, the Rs 259 plan includes 1.5 GB daily data, unlimited calling, and other features for one calendar month – regardless of whether the month has 30 or 31 days. As a result, just 12 recharges will be required per year.
Every month, the plan takes place on the same day. So, if a user signs up for the new Rs 259 monthly plan on March 5, the next recurring recharge dates will be on the fifth of the following months (April 5, May 5, June 5 and so on).
The Rs 259 package, like other Jio prepaid plans, may be recharged many times at once.
The advance recharged plan is placed in a queue and becomes active on the expiration date of the current active plan, allowing users to save time.
Through both online and offline channels, the plan is offered to both new and existing subscribers.
Trai, the telecom regulator, had ordered carriers earlier this year to give 30-day pre-paid mobile recharge plans, a move that was expected to lower the number of recharges a client made in a year.
On February 15, 2007, Infotel Broadband Services Limited was incorporated in Ambawadi, Ahmedabad, Gujarat (IBSL). In June 2010, Reliance Industries (RIL) paid 4,800 crore (equivalent to 91 billion or US$1.2 billion in 2020) for a 95 percent share in IBSL. Despite being unlisted, IBSL was the only business to win broadband spectrum in all 22 Indian circles in the 4G auction earlier that year.
Infotel Broadband Services Limited was renamed Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) in January 2013, after continuing as RIL’s telecom subsidiary.
Jio said in June 2015 that it would begin operations across the country by the end of the year. However, four months later, in October, the firm announced that the launch would be delayed until the first quarter of the 2016–2017 fiscal year.
