Reliance Jio has finally come up with a new offering for new and existing JioPhone users.

Reliance Jio today said that JioPhone has ushered in an era of change for feature phone users in India; The telecom company has successfully upgraded over 100 million users on the JioPhone platform.

JioPhone 2021 is available for new and existing users
Typically, Reliance Jio outperforms existing JioPhone users every time it launches a new offering, but this is not the case for telcos retaining current users. According to the country’s largest telecom operator, users of existing feature phones continue to overcharge as they are forced to pay Rs 1.20 to 1.50 every minute for a voice call at a time when smartphone users enjoy unlimited calls. Let’s take it. In addition, Airtel and Vi customers will have to pay a minimum fee of Rs 45 to 50 each month to keep the connection active and to get basic telecom services.
To resolve this issue, Jio introduced the “JioPhone 2021” proposal. New JioPhone users will get two options while taking the connection: The first option is Rs 1,999, under which they will get JioPhone device and 24 months free service. For a full 24 months, users can make unlimited voice calls and consume unlimited data (2GB is capped at high speeds each month and can be reduced to 64Kbps after that). Jio did not mention the benefits of SMS and said that users do not need to recharge for two years.
The second option is priced at Rs 1,499 and a 12-month unlimited service with free JioPhone device is also available. Benefits include a single unlimited voice call every month and 2GB of high-speed data, for a total of 24GB.
Existing JioPhone users can get the same package for Rs 749 for 12 months. The offer of JioPhone 2021 will be applicable to all Reliance Retail and Jio retailers on March 1.
