Synopsis: Reliance Jio has introduced three new 'True Unlimited' 5G add-on plans to address customer concerns over recent tariff hikes. These plans offer unlimited 5G data for users with compatible devices on the Jio True 5G network, but only if their current prepaid plans provide 2GB/day or more.
Details of the New Add-On Plans
The new plans are add-ons to existing prepaid plans, providing unlimited 5G data only when connected to the Jio True 5G network. Users will receive limited data if the network switches to 4G. Here are the specifics:
Rs151 Plan:
4G Data: 9GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G-supported devices on Jio True 5G network)
Rs101 Plan:
4G Data: 6GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G-supported devices on Jio True 5G network)
Rs51 Plan:
4G Data: 3GB at high speed
5G Data: Unlimited at high speed (for 5G-supported devices on Jio True 5G network)
Eligibility for Unlimited 5G Data
To qualify for unlimited 5G data, users must have prepaid plans offering 2GB/day or more. Plans with 1.5GB/day or less will not qualify for the unlimited 5G data benefit.
Response to Tariff Hikes and Customer Backlash
Reliance Jio's new plans come after a tariff hike that increased prices by up to 25% across all prepaid, postpaid, and data-on plans. The most significant price hikes were in annual plans, with the Rs 2,999 data pack rising to Rs 3,599. This led to widespread customer dissatisfaction, resulting in a 'BoycottJio' trend on social media. Concurrently, some users switched to BSNL, promoting a trend called 'BSNL ki ghar wapsi'.
Summary
Reliance Jio has introduced three new 'True Unlimited' 5G add-on plans to address customer concerns over recent tariff hikes. These plans offer unlimited 5G data for users with compatible devices on the Jio True 5G network, but only if their current prepaid plans provide 2GB/day or more.
