Jio Recharge Plan Hike - Effective 3rd July 2024

[Saiv]

This is the biggest 🖕🏻 One can show to the telcom users, telcom companies literally outwitted TRAI & abused their positions to its core. If we stay silent, they may even get start charging for incoming calls also.

TRAI MUST INTERVENE

 

[panchabhut]

TRAI is hand in glove with the operators. The whole process is a well planned drama.

But afaik wasn't it like this before Jio entered 🤔

 

[Strange]

Jio Plan hike coming again?


1899 --> 2249?

Source: Trust me bro?

Yes they do provide pro rata credit.

I never got any credit adjustment even after 5-6 bills and several e-mails/calls confirming my main prepaid account balance that was about a ₹1000.

Airtel upped 1999 Plan to 2249 with 30G data instead of 24G. Jio hasn't come up with replacement for 1899 plan.

My perspective is different, and I see this as a revaluation for airtel, especially the ₹2249 pack. Let me explain.

Both the ₹1999 and ₹2249 plans offer the same features (hellotunes, calls, sms etc.), except for the following:

Old Plan (₹1999 for 24GB): DISCONTINUED
-> ₹1999 ÷ 24GB = ~ ₹83.29 per GB.

New Plan (₹2249 for 30GB): ACTIVE
-> ₹2249 ÷ 30GB = ~ ₹74.97 per GB.

The cost per GB has decreased. Also, since airtel has removed the plans for data boosters with existing validity, this looks solid.

But you can look at it otherwise also, like pay extra 250 for 6 gb additional data.

I expected telecom operators to provide call only plan around 1000 - 1200. But they reduced less than 100. Trolling TRAI guidlines.

 

[2025]

What if we recharge data validity plan when we already have an active plan in JIO?

Like we have 1899 / 1958 then if we recharge these plans instead of 139/69 whether the validity will be of one year or one/two month only? If it is one/two month then how we gonna prioritize the use of short validity data in jio?

I disagree. Currently, there is only 1 plan with unlimited validity in airtel, which gives 1GB for ₹149.

But here, I’m happy to pay ₹250 for 6GB with unlimited validity, which comes with the ₹2249 plan.

Paying ₹250 for 6GB makes more sense.

All those data only packs are valid for just 30 days. Once the 30 days expire, your data is gone. You'll end up paying much more once the original data from the ₹1899 plan expires.

When we get 6GB at 69 then why u r happy paying 250 for the same?

Then I must have to make my stock ready by recharging 139 / 69.

Which 69 pack are you talking about? There is no 69 pack in airtel. There is one 77 pack but it gives data for only 7 days, not the existing validity.

Yes, or go for plans which says "existing validity" they will follow your 1899 pack validity. So you can use the data whenever you need.

I look at the price for these plans on validity perspective and not data perspective.
That is the primary differentiator.

Yes, I get your perspective. But if you are opting for 1899 (jio) pack your motive is to use mobile data as less as possible and utilise that 24GB for the whole year.

If the data consumption is huge, 1899 doesn't make any sense.
