In a bid to accelerate market transition towards ‘2G-Mukt Bharat’ with its affordable services, Reliance Jio has come up with a new ‘JioPhone 2021’ offer wherein a customer will get two years of unlimited services and new JioPhone at Rs 1,999.
Under the first-of-its kind offer in India, a new user would get a new JioPhone, unlimited voice calls for two years, unlimited data (2 GB per month) for two years and there would be no requirement for recharge for two years, Jio said in a statement today.
Along with unlimited voice calls and data, an existing user would get a JioPhone, along with 12 months of unlimited service for Rs 1,499, and not recharge would be required for a year. Further, existing users can also go for 12 months of unlimited service at Rs 749, it added.
“There are still 300 million subscribers in India who remain ‘trapped’ in the 2G era, unable to access basic features of the internet, at a time, when the world stands at the cusp of a 5G revolution. Since the last four years Jio has democratised internet and passed on the benefits of technology to every Indian,” said Akash Ambani, Director, Reliance Jio.
“Technology no longer remains a privilege of a select few. The New JioPhone 2021 offer is another step in that direction. At Jio, we have and will continue to take bold steps to eradicate this digital divide and welcome every Indian to joint this movement,” he added.
This offer will be available from March 1, across Reliance Retail and Jio retailers.
