New Delhi: Reliance Jio customers will have to pay 15% more for its popular 84-day plan at Rs459 from Thursday, under which subscribers get 1GB 4G data per day, according to information published on the company’s website.

However, subscribers of its Rs149 plan will get 4GB of data for each billing cycle of 28 days under the new “Diwali Dhamaka" scheme compared to 2GB being offered at present.

Reliance Jio has also reduced the recharge tariff for lower denomination and short-term plans besides offering data benefits under the schemes. Reliance Jio has introduced a plan for Rs52 with one-week validity and for Rs98 with 2 weeks that will offer its customers free voice, SMS, unlimited data (0.15 GB daily), as per its website.

All plans of Reliance Jio will continue to offer unlimited voice calls even during roaming.

The Rs459 plan will offer Reliance Jio customers unlimited services at 1GB high speed data per day for 84 days for prepaid users followed by data at curtailed speed, along with unlimited voice calling and access to Reliance Jio apps.

The company has also reduced benefits under the Rs509 scheme, which offers 2GB of data per day, by reducing its validity or billing cycle from 56 days to 49. Accordingly, data at high speed gets reduced to 98 GB from 112 GB under previous scheme. Under this plan, data cost will be Rs5.2 per GB.

Reliance Jio has introduced Rs1,999 plan which will have six months validity and offer 125 GB data at unrestricted high speed.

Under the new scheme, the validity of plan priced at Rs4,999 will be for a year instead of 210 days under the previous scheme. However, customers opting for it will get unrestricted access to 350 GB high speed data for the plan period compared to 380 GB offered earlier for same price.
