Telecom giant Reliance Jio has revised the prices of its prepaid recharge plans that come with a complimentary Netflix subscription. According to a report in The Hindu, Reliance Jio's new prepaid recharge plans with Netflix feature are now priced at ₹1,299 and ₹1,799. Earlier, these plans were priced at ₹1,099 and ₹1,499, respectively. The ₹1,299 plan includes Netflix mobile subscription, while the ₹1,799 plan offers Netflix basic subscription.
With the ₹1,299 plan, users can enjoy Netflix content on a single mobile device or tablet, with a maximum video resolution of 480p. On the other hand, the ₹1,799 plan offers access to Netflix on multiple devices including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and laptops, with video streaming quality up to 720p.
Both these Jio prepaid plans come with a validity period of 84 days, which means customers get three months of Netflix subscription with each recharge. Additionally, these plans offer unlimited voice calls, unlimited 5G data (subject to 5G availability in the user's area), and 100 SMS messages per day.
It is important to note that the ₹1,299 and ₹1,799 plans include 2GB and 3GB of high-speed data per day respectively. After the daily data limit is exhausted, users can continue to use the internet at a reduced speed of 64Kbps.
The adjustment follows a broader trend among Indian telecom operators raising their prepaid and postpaid tariffs earlier this year. Jio's updated rates are active from July 3, aligning with similar moves by competitors Vodafone Idea (Vi) and Airtel, which have also raised their tariffs for both prepaid and postpaid services.
According to the report, the telecom company dominates India's telecom sector in both mobile and fixed-line segments, with a total user base of 481.8 million, including 108 million 5G subscribers and 12 million fixed broadband subscribers.
