Jio Recharge Plan Hike - Effective 3rd July 2024

Guys, yesterday I was checking, and the data booster plan of 69Rs and 139Rs was not showing at all. I recharged with this new 458Rs plan (calls+sms only) in the hope of recharging it with 69 RS for basic data usage. I was like WTF ! why the data booster plans were not showing. However, today it is visible. Not sure anyone else faced this thing.

This technical problem of recharge not visible is there since 2017. This keep on going many times. Even the vouchers we have disappear but as we are use to such things since 2011 we don't worry much. They appear/disappear and cycle goes on. Problem is if they don't appear back for long times then it's permanent.

IT world mein har second kuch na kuch badalta hai. Kai baar server change karney hotey hai toh kuch der ke liye links down karney padtey hai. Kai baar coding problem ki wajah se kuch data sahi se kaam ni karta toh usko theek karney tak down karna padta hai.
 
Person working at BSNL as they have got the internal note. By March BSNL has to complete 4G roll out for Phase 2 which is going on. Tariff hike put on hold till March and then boom. Many old plans to be removed or benefits cut. Put on hold due to Delhi elections currently else it was decided after Jan 26, 2025. Once, Phase 3 is completed and 5G rollout starts you will see tariffs of BSNL nearly equal to what Jio has today and Jio will be 10-15% higher by this year end.

The GMs at BSNL have been directed to have atleast 250 ARPU in Tier 1 cities while minimum 150-175 in Tier 3 and 2 respectively. We all know what kind of network BSNL has but they have to charge to get better as no company can provide better network with cheap tariffs. Telecom is a capital hungry sector. Currently everything on hold at BSNL and before budget Govt don't want to face anger of middle class. So effectively April 2025 i.e new FY, you will see BSNL also joining the tariff hike race. They haven't participated much in last two hikes.

But remember they will continue to look cheaper than others both in terms of price and QoS.
Govt owns 100% of BSNL and 34% of Vi. So the most logical solution for BSNL would have been to have a network sharing agreement with Vi, with BSNL users using Vi existing 4G network at T-1 and t-2 cities and Vi users benefiting from the vast BSNL 2G network at T-2, T-3 and beyond. Win-win for BSNL, VI and their customers. But it would not be done as that would affect the business interest of Jio and Airtel.

The 34% in Vi is a non-executive stake which they got automatically for AGR dues. They can't pressurize Vi to have a sharing pact with BSNL until Vi defaults of spectrum payments or license fee. So Govt stake in Vi is for namesake and once they payout AGR dies, Govt will be out. It is/was a temporary move by Govt to keep Vi afloat as sinking would have made banks lose everything they loaned to Vi.

BSNL load will make Vi 4G unusable. People will go with BSNL for cheap tariffs but use Vi network only resulting in more loss to BSNL as outflow will increase at BSNL part and their share of every recharge will be near to zero.
 
Arre I'm waiting for acche din obviously
Things come and went by. It came in 2016 and now still going on with. Keep waiting but what for? I mean you can't wait for a thing that was already there. Doing nothing timely and then blaming Govt, corporates suits only one class of people and you better know which one they are. 🙂

Din acche aatey nahi bhai mere, laane padtey hai. Isme koi sakrkaar aapke liye kuch nahi karegi toh khud ke liye karna seekh lo nahi wait kartey raho jab tak zindagi beet jayegi.

Atleast previous sarkare were not selling false dreams. In a country of corrupted society, we became even worse
 
Otherwise I'm already busy doing enough for myself, but pray tell if I ask government any question for all the taxes I pay, I will be given sermons by people like you who are happy blaming the victim.
Grow a pair

This reply tells how much you know about previous sarkaar. Thing is you don't even care who runs Govt. All you care about is what I get like most think the same way. Winners make their own path and never wait for others to give them helping hand. So try to be like one. It's all mindset. Best of luck. I know over time your thinking will grow and you will have a better version of yourself when you have good financial condition where you won't even care what prices are.

Otherwise I'm already busy doing enough for myself,
Don't mind but you are not doing enough for yourself. Grow a pair. I am not a sermon but truth is always bitter and bites.

I actually care about most people and how this country is suffering. Please keep your privileged selfish sermon to yourself

I lived in a first world nation for more than decade getting benefits of taxes. My retirement fund can take care of 3 families. I'm here in India for family reasons.

I'm concerned about poverty and corrupted society. I'm beyond making money for myself
Maybe one day you'll reach where I am

Bada aaya gyan bakshne
 
Wohi toh Unlimited 5G mil rahi hai 350 mein or if one goes for yearly pack then around 280-300 fir bhi. Jisko sirf calls sms chahiye woh agar 150/month nahi de sakta toh sim bandd kar de. Ab hamarey rone se companies charity thodi karengi. Getting cheap is not a fundamental right. People talk about becoming like America and Europe and trust me if we do most of people will start crying. These countries don't do aprtiality based on economic condition and if you are poor you won't be entitled for cheaper stuff unlike India where people enjoy too much yet cry. Kabhi apne ghar se bahar nikley toh sahi fir pata lagega kitni aish mein hai yah log.

Apni smartness bhi use nahi kartey kai log, vaise toh bahot smart bantey hai. Like in 2019 I asked many to go for 399/444 vouchers but at that time they were like "Kitna increase kar lenge? Why to invest for long" Even after first hike many didn't understood the impact but many did.

So smart people who were really having sense invested in 2019 then 2021 and enjoying now and also getting UL 5G on their older vouchers.

The people who are really poor are getting subsidized with BSNL. Other who pretend to be poor should learn to live hard way.
i had bought 2gb/day plans of 84days at 394rs in 2018..i kept it until jio has said that..2gb/day needed for ultd 5g..and now i start using those..lol..i already stacked next 4years rcg of my house..

You have a futurisitc vision. Although it was in 2019 not 2018.

Same here. Bought 399 at 349 and 444 at 394 with 50 discount coupons. Still having those. All older vouchers either it be 399 / 329 / 1299 giving UL 5G. Recently activated 1299 on mother's no. on Jan 17 and instantly UL 5G was given. Stacked 555/599/2121/2399 later in Nov 2021.

At 8% Simple Interest rate this 349 we spent in 2019 actually would have Rs.512 by now. Still cheaper than what prices are today. 🙂

Jio is too big to fail now. Mukesh's Group of Companies don't go Anil way.

Anil Ambani's RCOM went down because Higher Authority had no control over it. Lower level employees and reatilers were looting it. It was just an adda where people come with mindset to loot and by the time RCOM get to know it was too late. All depends on who is running the business. RCOM always appointed losers from other telcos to join them like Aircel's Gurdeep Singh whose motive was to kill RCOM. It was a corporate war and Airtel, Vodafone, Idea didn't left any stone unturned to kill smaller operators. Jio was blamed later which was not true at all because smaller operators died due to 2G scam and there are many conspiracy theories floated by bootlickers of AvoID group to tarnish Jio's image. Smaller operators lost trust of lenders after that and no one was ready to lend them any money which made investments in infra go nil leading to downfall of all. Jio will be debt free by 2029. We can expect tariffs go down from early 2028 in India or Q3 2027. Before elections in 2029 Govt won't risk higher tariffs to drive away voters.

A-Nil Ambani was never serious businessmen. It's just like any home story. Two brothers where one is obidient and other one stays with people who always push him into bad company and he never gets successful in life. India mein har ghar mein ek loser hai which blame other family members for his or her fate.
