Jio launches a ₹10,000 recharge plan that lasts three years, with unlimited 5G and Canva Pro Lite
Pay once and your Jio number is covered for 1,095 days, which works out to about ₹278 a month.
- ₹10,000 one-time, valid 1,095 days
- 2.5 GB/day 4G, 100 SMS/day, unlimited 5G for eligible users
- Saves about ₹797 versus three ₹3,599 annual plans
What you get
Reliance Jio's new prepaid plan costs ₹10,000 as a one-time payment and is valid for 1,095 days, or three years. It has been available nationwide since 7 November. It includes unlimited local and STD calls on all networks, 100 SMS a day and 2.5 GB of high-speed 4G data a day. After the daily quota, speeds drop to 64 Kbps. Unlimited 5G is available to eligible users with a 5G phone in a Jio True 5G area.
The extras
The plan bundles JioHotstar mobile access, JioTV, 12 months of Canva Pro Lite and 50 GB of JioAI Cloud storage. You can buy it on the MyJio app, Jio's website, at Jio stores and through authorised third-party recharge channels.
Is it good value?
At about ₹278 a month, or roughly ₹9.1 a day, it is cheaper than renewing the ₹3,599 annual plan three times, which would cost ₹10,797. That is a saving of about ₹797 over three years. The catch is the large upfront payment and the fact that prices of plans can change over three years, so it suits people who plan to keep the same number.
Why it matters
Telecom firms are competing hard on prepaid offers this week. Airtel has reportedly started a buy-one-get-one recharge on two of its plans, a move Business Today links to a similar Jio promotion.
