Jio Happy New Year offer: Rs. 199 & Rs. 299 plan gives 1GB & 2GB data respectively per day for 28 days

Reliance Jio is back again to shake the telecom industry with two new prepaid monthly plans of denomination Rs. 199 and Rs. 299. These two plans are part of Jio's new Happy New Year recharge scheme, and are designed to offer daily data benefits along with unlimited voice calls to those with limited budgets.

Starting with the Rs. 199 plan, it offers unlimited voice calling including roaming, unlimited SMS and 1.2GB data per day for 28 days. This means you're getiing a total of 33.6GB high-speed data for the validity period. 

Secondly, the Rs. 299 plan also offers unlimited voice calling including roaming and unlimited SMS, but gives you 2GB data per day for 28 days.

The data is actually unlimited on both Rs. 199 and Rs. 299 plans, but once you cross the daily FUP of 1.2GB/2GB high-speed data limit, the speed will drop to 128kbps.

Apart these two plans, Jio will continue to offer Rs. 149, Rs. 399, Rs 459, Rs 499, and Rs 509 tariff plans. The base plan Rs. 149 offers only 4.2GB data for 28 days, while the Rs. 399, Rs. 459 plan and Rs. 499 plans offer 1GB data per day for 70 days, 84 days and 91 days respectively. The Rs. 509 plan has a validity of 49 days and give 2GB data per day. All these plan also offering free voice calling, national roaming and SMS.

Now that Reliance Jio has fired the shot, we can expect other telecom operators to come out with counter offers to give similar benefits to their customers. Airtel has already revised its Rs. 199 plan to offer 1GB data per day for 28 days, along with unlimited voice calls including national roaming and free SMS. Earlier the same plan offered only 1GB data for 28 days, and other benefits.
