Reliance Jio
has updated its Rs. 149 prepaid recharge pack to offer unlimited data
access to consumers by quietly updating its plans. The Jio Rs. 149 plan,
till recently, came with 2GB of data cap, but with the update, users
can get unlimited data access even after their 2GB data cap is
exhausted. Of course, the speed beyond the 2GB quota would be lower, as
is the case with all other Jio plans on offer. This move leaves the Rs.
19 and Rs. 49 plans as the only ones without unlimited Internet access
once the FUP is consumed.
The Rs. 149 plan still comes with 2GB
FUP for 28 days, but now users can access the Web at 64kbps speed after
the high-speed quota is over. Notably, even though Jio has provided
customers with unlimited Internet, the post-FUP speed is still lower
than that of its other plans – the Rs. 96, Rs. 309 and plans priced
higher all offer 128kbps speed, twice that of the Rs. 149 plan, once the
data the high-speed is exhausted.
The Rs. 149 plan costs a little
less than half of the popular Rs. 309 plan that offers 56 days of
validity and 1GB data per day FUP, and is a lot more lucrative. Even the
Rs. 96 plan comes with 7GB of 4G data, even though the validity is just
7 days. The Rs. 149 plan is not available for postpaid consumers of
Jio. Calls are free, of course, and the pack comes with Jio apps
subscription and free SMSes.
With the updated plan, the Jio Rs. 149 plan has a slight edge over Airtel’s pack at the same price. The Airtel Rs. 149 plan for prepaid users comes with 2GB of data as well, and bundled Airtel-to-Airtel calls.
