Reliance Jio launches new plans for work-from-home professionals
Offers more prepaid data
Reliance Jio’s has launched a new annual work-from-home plan for Rs 2,399 with 2 GB daily data for professionals working from home and their families who use the internet for e-learning and entertainment. The existing Rs, 2121 work-from-home annual plan offered 1.5GB data per day.
Apart from this new annual plan, Jio has also come out with three new add-on plans specifically for those who work-from-home and perform data intensive tasks regularly. You can choose from add-on plans for Rs 151, Rs 201, and Rs 251.
The latest annual plan for Rs 2,399 offers 2GB high-speed data and validity for 365 days, which means that a user gets 730GB over a one-year timeframe. As with any data plan, upon depletion of allotted data, the speed is downgraded to 64 Kbps.
The plan offers free and unlimited Jio to Jio calling. It also offers Jio to non-Jio calling with a FUP limit of 12,000 minutes.
The plan offers free text messaging with a limit of 100 SMS as well as complimentary subscription to Jio apps.
Compared to the latest annual plan, the previous annual plan for Rs 2,121 came with a daily high-speed data of 1.5GB and a validity of 336 days was inferior as it accounted for only 504GB of data during the time frame. However, both these annual plans offer the same voice, SMS and added benefits.
