Reliance Jio Reached 100 Million Users: Announces Jio Prime Subscription At Rs. 10 A Day For Unlimited Data

Mukesh Ambani, the owner of Reliance Corporation, has announced that the newly launched Reliance Jio now has over 100 million active users. The company has reached this remarkable target in just 170 days of the service launch. Ambani credited this achievement to Jio’s customers, employees, and other partners and said, "this record is an achievement of India and Indians". Ambani further said that before the arrival of Reliance Jio, India was placed at 150th in broadband usage and after the launch of the Jio network, India became the number one country in the world for mobile data usage. According to him, the Jio users consumed 100 crore GB of data a month, which is 50 percent more than what China consumed and was approximately equal to the amount consumed by the US.

As we know that the Jio Happy New Year Plan expires on 31st March and after that, a new tariff plan will be kicked off from 1st April 2017. Regarding this, Ambani said that Jio, as promised, is not going to have any local, STD or roaming charges on its network. Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani also launched the new Jio Prime subscription plan that offers the same free data and other services to customers as they have received as part of the Happy New Year Offer, for another 12 months at Rs. 303 per month. This comes out to Rs. 10 days per for the unlimited data, calls, text messages, and other services that users get as part of Jio's Happy New Year Offer.

The new Jio Prime subscription is only for the first 100 million Reliance Jio customers, as well as those who join the network on or before March 31, 2017. Users can start registering for the Jio Prime subscription plan starting March 1, 2017; sign-ups for the Jio Prime plan end on March 31, 2017. The subscription costs Rs. 99 a year, and entails benefits worth Rs. 10,000, Ambani said; it will be valid until March 31, 2018.

Once Reliance Jio users have signed up for Jio Prime plan, they will have to make a monthly payment of Rs. 303 for the free data and services. The plan comes into effect on April 1, 2017, the day the existing Jio Happy New Year Offer expires. Those who do not opt for the Jio Prime subscription plan will be ported to the prepaid or postpaid Reliance Jio tariff plans, which the company had announced in September 2016 while launching its services. Ambani stressed that despite the free data plans not being valid starting April 1, all voice calls on the network will remain free indefinitely - with no roaming charges.

Additionally, Ambani said that Jio will continually strive to be the most value-for-money telecom operator in the country and will always provide 20 percent more data than any other telecom company in India.
