Reliance Jio Launches New Voice-Only Prepaid Plans Following TRAI DirectivePreviousNext

Reliance Jio has introduced four new voice-only prepaid plans priced between Rs. 147 and Rs. 197, offering unlimited calls and 300 SMS without data, with validity ranging from 22 days to one calendar month. These plans comply with a TRAI directive and are priced lower than similar offerings from Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Jio also offers longer validity voice-only plans, including Rs. 448 for 84 days and Rs. 1,748 for 336 days, which include additional benefits like JioTV and JioAI Cloud subscriptions. Airtel and Vodafone Idea have launched comparable voice-only plans, generally at higher prices for shorter durations but with some annual plans offering longer validity.
