Allocation of Data on Postpaid Plus

[thescurvydawg]

I have the 999 Jio Postpaid Plus plan. Every month, when the plan renews, the data allocation for all child numbers disappears and their internet stops working. I have to manually assign them their data quota again, before their Internet service resumes.
I have to do this every month manually. Is there a way to allocate the child numbers data automatically?

Nope have to do it manually and also for child member's there is no data carry forward

The child numbers can use data from complete data pool right unlike VI?
I've heard that the data rollover is also for only first 6 months.

Horrible. So every month, between midnight and morning when I allocate the data, the child numbers have no Internet.

No. You have to allocate data to each member and then can use only up to that limit, not the entire pool.

Then Jio's family plans are useless considering data rollover is for only first 6 months too.

after 6 months , the data would lapse or remain in account for use later ?

Seems to be a very cumbersome process. Airtel postpaid is better that way then.
In case you forget any month, it would affect your family peace. And God forbid if the child no belongs to the wife.

Is there any improvement to the Postpaid plus process? I have 4 numbers each on 199 plan. I would love to use Postpaid plus to simplify the bill payment, but only of the data allocation is easier than before.

Yes, check in my jio there is an option, if you want to share data as recurring or on one time basis.
Recurring - same data alloted automatically every bill cycle
One time - you'd have to do it manually every bill cycle.

 

[thescurvydawg]

Thanks. But still no option to share from a common/total pool without allocating everyone their own share?

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Yes, you can't have all sharing from a single pool. This possibly due to prevent children having sims overusing on their data. I doubt any adult would use Jio Postpaid Family, since it's quite expensive compared to competition and has limited features.

 

[thescurvydawg]

That should be the user's choice not Jio's. In Airtel, everyone shares from the same pool and for children you can also specify limits.

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Then I guess you can port out?
Don't give em any more of your hard earned money.

 

[thescurvydawg]

No. 199 it is.
