Jio prepaid tariffs hiked: check new plans, how they compare with Airtel, Vi prepaid plans
After Airtel and Vi hiked their prepaid plan charges, Reliance Jio, the largest player in the Indian telecom market has now revised the tariffs for its plans as well. The new Jio prepaid plans prices are scheduled to go live from December 1st 2021. The new Jio plans have been rolled out via an official press release and highlight the changes that have been pushed out. This comes as a well-anticipated move given that the two other most prominent telecom service providers in the country, Airtel and Vi, recently refreshed their tariff plans with new fee hikes.

Post Airtel and Vi’s prepaid plan price hike, Jio joins the suite with a new price list for its unlimited prepaid plans. The new plans are scheduled to be enforced from December 1st onwards. This update includes price refreshes for the Jio Phone plan as well as data-add-ons.
A quick look at the new price list shows that the 3GB data per month with unlimited voice calls and 50 SMS plan which was previously listed for Rs 75 has now seen a hike of Rs 16 and will now be available for Rs 91. Going by validity, the base plan for a 28 day validity period that offers 2GB data per month with unlimited voice calls and 300 SMS has now seen a Rs 26 price hike and will henceforth be available for Rs 155. Similarly, the popular Rs 399 base plan for 56 days worth of validity which brings 1.5GB data per day, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day will now be available for a price of Rs 479.
