Reliance Jio's new plan: Reliance Jio has been facing criticism for removing some of the most popular affordable plans for prepaid users after the recent tariff hike. The telecom company has quietly addressed the issue by introducing three new 'True Unlimited Upgrade' add-on plans. The three new prepaid plans are not stand-alone but will be add-ons to the existing plans in use.
The new plan will offer unlimited 5G connectivity, provided the user has a 5G compatible device. However, unlimited 5G data will only be available when connected to the Jio True 5G network, and the device must support 5G.
If the network moves to 4G, the plans offer limited data. Check out the detailed plans below:
1. ₹151 plan:
4G data: 9GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G enabled devices on Jio True 5G network)
2. ₹101 plan:
4G data: 6GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G enabled devices on Jio True 5G network)
3. ₹51 plan:
4G data: 3GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G enabled devices on Jio True 5G network)
The new plans address the complaints that many were sharing on X, after the removal of some affordable prepaid plans such as the Rs 1559 plan and the Rs 359 plan, which also offered unlimited 5G. However, the old plans were stand-alone plans unlike the three new add-ons.
Apart from these plans, only users who have prepaid plans with 2GB/day or more will be eligible for unlimited 5G data. Any data pack that offers 1.5GB or less data per day will have to strictly adhere to the limit.
Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have recently increased tariffs on all prepaid, postpaid and data-only plans. The plans have been increased by up to 25 percent. The biggest price difference can be seen in the annual plan. The price of the Rs 2,999 data pack has been increased to Rs 3,599.
The price hike led to discontent among many telecom consumers, which resulted in a 'Boycott Jio' trend on X. Along with this, some consumers were seen trending 'BSNL ki ghar wapsi' by posting their selfies with the new BSNL SIM card.
