The demand for Jio 4G SIM is on a rise and will continue to be so because Reliance has come up with some really brilliant plans that offer high-speed internet, calls and SMS at unbelievably low rates.
Announcing the tariff plans he said that Jio tariffs will be 1/10 of the prevailing prices being charged now. All the plans, excluding the Rs 149 plan, will bundle in free unlimited SMSes. Users get 0.2GB of Wi-Fi JioNet Hotspot with the validity of the pack for one day.
The RIL chairman said his company will not be charging for voice calls at all (for a limited time), and it will charge a tenth of what its competitors are charging for 4G data.
He unveiled his plan on the 42nd annual meeting of Reliance Industries, and said “Reliance Jio Digital India Startup has kept aside Rs.5000 Crore of capital to be ventured on the projects of the aspiring young entrepreneurs across India”.
According to Ambani’s presentation, data rates per GB are around USD 30 in Japan, USD 18 in Korea, USD 15 in China, USD 7.5 in Spain and USD 6 in South Africa.
During the speech, Mukesh Ambani also appealed to incumbent operators not to block Jio calls and ensure adequate points of interconnect. Worldwide operators charge only for data, and voice and messages are free. The plan is valid for 21 days. “Idea users will now get 5GB of 4G, 3G data at just Rs. 649”. “Our data plans go even further with an effective rate of 5p/MB or Rs. 50/ GB”.
