Breaking “No Daily Limit” plans launched by Jio 4G

[Star NXT]

This is how it's here in USA. No daily limit. A fixed amount of data is available for 30 days like 10 GB, 25 GB etc. and unlimited calls and sms and free national roaming.

What benefit?
555 recharge is cheaper than this
555 - Rs 6.60 per day
597 - Rs 6.63 per day

Good for those who not use data daily ..and its good that data can be used without daily limit..for example 75 gb can be finished in first 10 days or last 10 days

I welcome this move. Daily data indirectly forces people to use the data daily, else they may get guilty of wasting money. I hope all other telcos follow this move and brings the congestion in network under control. Another good thing in these plans are, the validity are in 30 days and its multiples and not stupid 28 days like earlier.

But as someone already pointed out, Rs249 plan is not that attractive, comparing Jio Rs199 postpaid plan. Even Airtel Corporate postpaid plan gives 30GB data for Rs249 (GST is received back as ITC - Input Tax Credit) and the unused data accumulated till 200GB.

As far as USA is concerned, most people have wired internet at home. When at home, they switch to Wi-Fi.

I have unlimited data for $35 per month (Rs.2500 approx). But my average monthly use is only 5 GB per month as measured by my mobile.

But 5 GB plan costs $30 per month

So for Rs.249, 25 GB per month is a crazy cheap deal for me.

Instead providing this I would have supported weekend data rollover.

Also night unlimited works good as well. I have used over 150 GB in just 40 days on Vi with data roll over and weekend carryover.

If I port to Jio, will I be able to recharge with ₹2397 plan directly? Are there any other costs involved during porting?

You might be charged extra ₹99 as prime membership charges.

Yes definately you can recharge it.

It's obvious Prime membership fee is for all.

I agree about the guilty part. It feels wrong to waste money that way. But I kinda disagree about the comparison with postpaid plan. Prepaid plans has it's own advantage over postpaid. Add-on data cost ₹10 along with 18% GST per GB. Meanwhile same can be bought on bulk on prepaid and save cost. Also there is freedom to skip recharge or to downgrade to any other plan. While on postpaid ₹199 is bare minimum.
