On the face of it, it may seem nothing extraordinary, but just a surface-level change. But if you have been a pre-paid user of a telecom service, you will understand it to be a nifty change that helps you to remember your recharge date easily. We are talking here about a new prepaid plan that Reliance Jio has announced that offers unlimited data and voice calling benefits for a period of exactly one calendar month. 

The Rs 259 Jio prepaid recharge plan will renew on the same date of every month, to help users remember just one recharge date every month, the company said in a press release.  This means that if you recharge with the Rs 259 plan today (March 29), your next recharge would be April 29.

Jio has brought this prepaid recharge plan for both its new and existing users through all online and offline channels. The  plan comes bundled with 1.5 GB daily data and unlimited calling along with other benefits on the validity of exactly one calendar month - irrespective of whether a month has 30 or 31 days. The number of recharges will be only 12, in a year. Like other Jio prepaid plans, the Rs 259 plan can be recharged multiple times at one go.

Jio claimed that it is the first in the industry to launch the 'calendar month validity' prepaid plan. The plan is already live on Jio.com from today.
