Jio's in-flight plans: Benefits, how to use and more
Jio has introduced three plans that will provide users with the ability to make calls, use the internet, or text during a flight. The plans will be applicable for Jio Postpaid Plus users. Starting with the Rs. 499 plan, it provides users with 250MB of data, 100 outgoing calling minutes, and 100 SMSs. The Rs. 699 plan offers 500MB of data, 100 outgoing minutes, and 100 SMSs. The Rs. 999 pack offers 1GB of data, 100 outgoing minutes for calls, and 100 SMSs.
All three packs come with a validity of a day. One thing to note is that the one-day validity means full 24 hours, starting from the first usage in the flight. The plans will start working once the plane reaches 20,000 feet or above. Here's how to use the packs:
- Switch on the smartphone and enable the Airplane mode
- The smartphone then gets automatically connected to AeroMobile network. The network name will be different for different devices
- If the smartphone doesn't get connected, then you will be required to head to the carrier settings from the main Settings to manually select AeroMobile
- Now, enable data roaming on your smartphone
- Once all this is done, you will receive a welcome message and other information and you will now be able to use the in-flight mobile services
Presently, Jio's in-flight mobile services are available for users travelling abroad. However, the services will soon be available for users even while travelling to places within India.
