Only 1 week left to be a Jio Prime member

Reliance Jio had opened new avenues in the telecom sector when it announced its free offers in 2016. After the ‘Welcome Offer’, the trial period for Jio continued as ‘Happy New Year’ offer. But now the freebies are about to get over on March 31, after which the data on Reliance Jio will begin to be chargeable. In order to soften the sudden blow, the network service provider decided to open the floodgates of a new offer, called the Prime Membership offer. Under this new offer, users will have to pay a certain amount to become a Jio prime subscriber. After which there will be separate charges for data consumed by prime and non-prime members.

If you wish to continue using the previous ‘Happy New Year’ offer, will have to pay a subscription fee of Rs 99 as a Jio subscriber. Also, you will have to shell out Rs 303 per month, in order to continue accessing Jio’s 4G data services as well as the full bouquet of its media services for one year. Parallel to the previous Jio ‘Happy New Year’ offer, the Prime membership too will provide users with a FUP limit of 1GB data every day. Interestingly, this offer translates to 30GB data for a month, meaning Rs 10 per day. If you want to be a Prime member, the last date for enrolling into the Jio Prime membership programme is March 31.
