“In comparison, Reliance Jio has just launched commercial services and has about 1.5-2 million customers”, S&P said.
R Suresh, a software engineer in Chennai, who was at a showroom in Ashok Nagar, Chennai, choosing Jio for the promise of cheaper data, is hoping call quality and data streaming are not compromised for the attractive costing. The Voice-over LTE support is essential to enable the free voice calling feature, which is otherwise unavailable.
It said Jio’s blended tariff rates are at least 20-25 per cent cheaper than those of the incumbent telcos, given the lower data charges, and free voice calls or text messages. We will examine whether the hyped Jio meets your budget and expectations. The plan will be valid for 28 days from the date of activation. It has already launched millions of smartphones through its Reliance Lyf handset subsidiary, and has invested more than $20bn in its network. This analysis is purely on the amount of 4G data offered by the telecom operators as the common parameter. For under Rs. 150, the customer will be able to get 550MB 4G data instead of 300MB. The company is offering unlimited broadband data for Rs 249. The Rs 149 plan, available for both prepaid and postpaid users, will offer 300 MB data and 100 SMSes with a validity of about a month. Even better still if they have a 4G VoLTE-ready smartphone as well.
