Back in 2018 Reliance Jio launched affordable data add-ons at Rs. 11, Rs. 21, Rs. 51 and Rs. 101 with 400MB, 1GB data, 3GB and 6GB data, respectively. Now it has introduced 2x benefits for all the packs so you get 800MB, 2GB data, 4GB and 12GB data for the plans, respectively. Plan (Rs.) Data Jio to Non-Jio minutes 11 800MB 75 minutes 21 2GB 200 minutes 51 6GB 500 minutes 101 12GB 1000 minutes In addition, it also offers extra 75, 200, 500 and 1000 minutes of off-net IUC calling to other operators, respectively. All these packs don’t have validity, so it will be valid till your existing plan’s validity. Data on these add-on packs are used once the daily quota on your existing plan is over. You can do multiple recharge of these add-on packs, but these will be queued up in your account, for usage only once the first voucher has expired. These new add-on packs are now live on the Jio website as well as My Jio app. Hope we can expect something for Jio Fiber users as well since ACT Fibernet has offered free speed and unlimited FUP for its users.
