Reliance Jio Offers JioBharat 4G Phone at Rs 1,499 with Six Months Recharge Benefits
Reliance Jio is offering its JioBharat 4G feature phones at an upfront price of Rs 1,499, bundled with six months of recharge benefits including 14GB monthly data and unlimited HD voice calls. This limited-time anniversary offer, running until October 20, 2026, targets 2G users to encourage upgrading to 4G. Jio calculates the effective phone cost as Rs 299 by subtracting the value of included recharges, which many 2G users typically spend on monthly. The phones feature a 2.4-inch display, 2,000mAh battery, and access to digital services like JioTV and UPI payments.
