Reliance Jio on Tuesday announced a new plan of 1GB 4G data daily for 3 months at Rs 309 for its Prime members but rival Airtel dubbed the offer as a case of “old wine in a new bottle”.
Announcing its new offer, Jio said that under the Rs 309 plan it would provide “unlimited SMS, calling and data (1GB per day at 4G speed) for 3 months on first recharge”. For Rs 509, the company is offering unlimited SMS, calling and double the data (2GB per day) for 3 months on first recharge.
The new plans with benefits for Jio Prime members is aimed at encouraging subscribers to “live the digital life without restrictions”, Jio said in a statement.
“Considering the special benefits that are available to Jio Prime members, customers who were unable to subscribe to Jio Prime for any reason, can continue to do so by paying Rs 408 or Rs 608 (Jio Prime + recharge price) to avail these benefits,” the statement added.
