Handset for ₹1,499 and 6 months service: Understand the math

The company claims that this plan has been prepared keeping in mind the approximately 20 crore 2G users present in the country. According to Jio, currently an average 2G user spends an average of ₹199 per month on recharge. According to this, the cost of calling and data only comes to around ₹ 1,200 in 6 months.

This special anniversary package of ₹1,499 comes pre-bundled with a 6-month plan, which offers 0.5GB data per day (total 84GB data) and unlimited HD voice calling. After deducting this recharge value, the effective price of JioBharat 4G handset for the customer remains only ₹ 299.

Digital Features: From Entertainment to UPI Payment

This device is not limited to just basic calling. Many modern features have been included in it under Digital India:

  • JioPay UPI Support: Facility to make payment by scanning QR code at shops even without smartphone. It also has in-built soundbox alert.
  • JioTV and JioHotstar: Option to watch over 500 live TV channels, sports and movies.
  • Jio Safety Shield: Special calling features to protect family members and location-monitoring.

Which models are included in the offer?

Although Jio has not officially announced the names of the phone models separately, specifications like 2.4-inch display, 2,000mAh battery and 4G VoLTE support directly point towards JioBharat B1 and JioBharat B2 models. This limited-period offer will be available across leading retail stores and online platforms during the festive season.

Impact on Industry: Steps towards 2G-free India

This offer, which came just before the festivals, will directly impact the feature phone market. While other telecom companies are increasing the minimum recharge prices, this package of Jio is a strategy to connect entry-level customers directly to the 4G ecosystem.
