Jio's comeback with a bang on its tenth anniversary Amidst the rising recharge prices and changes in the telecom market, Reliance Jio has presented a big surprise for its customers. On the special occasion of its tenth anniversary, Jio has once again started 'Jio Prime' membership. Under this new and special offer of the company, customers will have to pay a lump sum fee of only ₹ 300. In return, they will be able to keep the existing rates of their selected eligible recharge plans completely safe i.e. locked till 5th September 2027.
This simply means that even if the company increases the prices of its recharge plans in the coming time, Jio Prime member customers will still be able to recharge their chosen plan at the old and current price.
One year price protection at ₹300 and other benefits Let us tell you that to get Jio Prime membership, customers will have to pay a fee of ₹ 300 only once. After this, they will be given full price protection for one year on eligible plans. This facility is open to both existing prepaid and postpaid customers of Jio. Not only this, if you are a customer of any other company, you can also take full advantage of this membership by porting your number to Jio or taking a new Jio connection.
According to available information, the biggest feature of Jio Prime is the price protection cover it provides. Customers who have been using a particular recharge plan for a long time can continue to recharge at the same fixed rate during the membership period. Due to this, any possible increase in mobile tariff in future will not affect their pockets.
Additional benefits worth ₹600 will be available with membership On taking this membership, customers are also being given great benefits worth ₹ 600. In this, a coupon of ₹ 300 will be available, which can be used while taking a new Jio Home or Jio PC connection. Apart from this, you will get another coupon of ₹ 300 on getting a new Jio SIM connection for your friends or family members. The company also says that its Prime members will be given the first access to new services, products and trial features.
Not only this, Jio Prime members will be provided a separate and priority channel for customer care support. Along with this, there is also a possibility of getting some other special benefits during the membership period. Customers can easily avail this membership from Jio app, company's official website, Jio store or any authorized Jio partner shop.
₹299 plan will continue, giving tough competition to Airtel It is noteworthy that these days many big changes are being seen in recharge plans among telecom companies. Amidst this tussle, Jio has confirmed that its popular ₹299 plan will continue. This decision of the company has brought great relief to lakhs of users who recharged in this budget.
On the other hand, recently Bharti Airtel has discontinued its ₹299 plan as well as some prepaid plans of ₹579, ₹619 and ₹649. However, some plans have been removed only from select circles. The starting flagship plan in Airtel's portfolio now comes with 28 days validity and 2GB data per day priced at ₹349.
At such a time, Jio's maintaining its ₹ 299 plan and also offering price guarantee till 2027 through Jio Prime is being considered a deliberate strategy to retain customers. This can prove to be very useful especially for those users who have been stuck on the same plan for a long time. However, the company has clarified that this price protection will be applicable only on eligible plans and other conditions will remain as per the rules.
