Reliance Jio has introduced a new prepaid recharge plan worth Rs 198, which offers unlimited 5G data access and will be valid for 14 days. This plan is considered as the most affordable option from the telecom player which also includes unlimited 5G data, along with additional benefits. Here is a closer look at what the plan offers and how could it be better when compared to the other options.
Plan details and benefits
The new Rs 198 prepaid recharge plan will provide 2 GB of 4G data per day, along with unlimited voice calling, and 100 SMS per day which will be a validity of 14 days.
In addition to these basic features, the plan will further include access to Jio’s suite of apps, which will include JioTV, JioCloud and JioCinema, which will enhance the overall value for users.
Comparisons with the existing Jio plans
While the Rs 198 recharge plan is the cheapest and has been offered by Jio for unlimited 5G data, it comes with 14-day validity which may require users to certainly recharge more frequently.
For users who are looking for a monthly plan with similar benefits, Jio offers a Rs 349 plan with unlimited 5G data, 2 GB of 4G data per day, and a 28-day validity.
Recharging the Rs 198 plan twice a month would cost Rs 396- which is slightly more than the existing Rs 349 plan- making it a little expensive option for those who prefer a longer validity period.
How to recharge the Jio number with the new plan?
- Users can recharge with the Rs 198 plan through the MyJio app or other prepaid recharge platforms.
- However, it is important to note that platforms like Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe may charge an additional convenience fee ranging from Re 1 to Rs 3, while the MyJio app does not impose any extra charges.
Comparison with Airtel’s 5G plan
When compared to Airtel’s most affordable 5G plan, which costs Rs 379 per month, Jio’s Rs 198 plan is slightly more expensive when compared on a per-month basis if recharged twice.
However, Airtel’s plan offers a full month of validity, while Jio’s recent offering is an equivalent plan which has a 28-day cycle. Users with existing plans that offer less than 2 GB of data can also opt for add-on packs to experience 5G speeds on both Jio and Airtel networks.
