Jio slashes monthly tariffs by ₹ 50, hikes data limit

Prepaid & Postpaid 4G Data Plans - Jio
 
What's happening! I thought the price war was over! ?
 
considering these are prepaid plans, and you recharge them manually, i do not see why not ?
 
I was expecting something else,didn't go through the whole article,it seems they are reducing the current price of 1GB plans and are introducing 1.5GB plans..I thought people who have already paid would be getting extra data and users who would want to opt for the 1gigs can go for the cheaper plan
 


they do not change plans already queued in your account as per my understanding. not sure if they are going to pass on the benefits to ongoing plans and queued recharges.
 
If you've already paid, you'll get what you paid for. No change takes place in queued recharges.
 
Since existing operators started offering plans matching with JIO plans, now JIO lowered tarrifs further. Existing operators would again be under pressure.
But I am more happy with Rs 50 price cut then 1.5GB raised limit. As many people would hardly be consuming 1 GB everyday, so price cue is welcoming.
 
Amazon is also offering rs 50 cb for both new and existing customers till 15 jan, you can use it if you don't have rs 50 vouchers in jio app
 
I fcked up real badly in a way. On my main Jio phone, I recharged for one whole year in advance in March last year when they said they would increase prices soon and to recharge in advance quickly. I had made 12 recharges of Rs.499 for 2GB per day data. The prices never increased and nor did I get any benefit of the advance recharge. I am paying multiple times of what others are paying for the same data on that phone. Again, I not complaining as I am still relatively satisfied with their service and it gave me options from the 10 years of monopoly of BSNL in Assam (there were no other affordable plans then though BSNL brought even cheaper 3G and broadband plans compared to Jio after facing competition .. I am also relatively satisfied with BSNL for backup now.. now BSNL 3G speeds are also comparable to the relatively slower Jio 4G speeds). Jio changed the market which is the best thing to happen and did not happen for more than 10 years since I got BSNL (before the advent of Jio).

I can understand Jio's strategy and more power to them. However, it would have been better if the sort of pushing to recharge early (which made me recharge a year i.e. 12 recharges in advance) would not have been made. Nevertheless, best of luck to them and hope they grow and launch FTTH too soon. But probably I would not take a lot of connections or do a lot of recharges in advance if that happens. LOL. For the first time in my life, I have multiple options for relatively stable and affordable internet and that is a good feeling for sure. 😀 I still maintain 5 Jio numbers including my family (3 of my own) but I do not use most of them anymore. So, I would probably stop the extra ones or at least 1 of them before Aadhar becomes mandatory (not still sure... I also do not think Aadhar would be there in Assam for another year or so as NRC completion would still take a lot of time). I would probably take the Jio FTTH instead once it launches in Guwahati.
 
or you can just queue a few of these prepaid plans and enjoy them when these plans may no longer be available ?
