Things you should know about
Reliance JIO before buying its sim or handset.
Well to be frank, since the time JIO has entered
Indian market , it has created a buzz. Be it the customer or the rivals,
everyone is on their foot. With so many gifts it is giving to the customer free
of cost, no doubt we are seeing a huge rise in their customer base with each
passing day.
The first thing which comes to your mind is…what’s
the catch ??
“Kya
Reliance ko koi jaadu ki chari mil gayi hai??”
Well, we will analyze the situation to know the hidden
story and facts because we all know how good Ambani ji is as a businessman and
he must have planned it all.
To simplify, let’s break down everything into 3
parts:
- ·
Before you buy the sim
- ·
You with your awesome plan of JIO till
31st December
- ·
After 31st December
Let’s discuss each of the things in a little more
detail.
1.
Before you buy the sum
Life was going ok with you and your old phone and
your old data packs giving your 3G speed. People with various class end up
paying around Rs 200-1000 on their phone bill for different data plans and then
suddenly JIO thing happened with a heavy background music and shooting stars
and everyone started shouting ”Lo aa
gaya humara masiha jo hume manhge data plan se mukti dilayega”.
In no time JIO store got queued up. We Indians love
anything which is free and so we loved this too. If you already bought the sim,
this part is not for you and so you can scroll down to the next section. Rest can
continue…
You will need a new phone with 4G to use
JIO sim.
Sad news if you just invested in
buying a new phone without 4G. You need to buy another one to use the offer . But
this offer is so tempting..so why give a second thought. Ambaniji came up with
a solution and offered many cheap handset starting for around Rs 3000 to its customer.
He must have made a lot of money selling these and surely this was his first
master stroke. He also partnered with Samsung and Lg which must have benefited
both of them a lot.
JIO
to JIO works good, but JIO to OTHER…can’t say the same
“Hey buddy, I got a jio and I want
to talk to you for free ..so you also get a jio too na??”.
Well, this is the second master
plan. Jio to Jio voice call is working much better than JIO to OTHERS because
of some technical issue. So the product will advertise on its own from mouth to
mouth and the sale surely will increase exponentially.
You
need an Aadhar to get the card and the best thing…..it’s totally free.
Ambaniji wants
everyone to get addicted to the high speed of 4G. Once we are used to it, using
3G will feel like su*king and you will be happily paying a little more to get
the same speed. Well coming back, you can obviously try it by taking your Aadhar
card and please don’t pay a penny to the dealer. . "Jio's Data, Voice, Video and the full
bouquet of Jio applications and content will be available for EVERYONE
absolutely FREE, till 31st December 2016," says Ambani
2.You with your awesome plan of JIO
Well life has completely changed. Now you feel like our own superhero "SHAKTIMAAN" . Illegal movies download, songs download, youtube pe always watching only HD videos, videolectures, online gaming, downloading studymaterial,buffering porn etc etc. now became a matter of seconds. You suddenly started loving Ambani's fat son too.
3. Reliance
JIO Post 31st December
Reliance
wishes everyone with a great new year 17 by ending their free service on the last
day of 2k16. By now you must have downloaded a lots of movies, watched so many youtube
videos, browsed a huge lot of data. Surely you would have been active 24-7 on
social media…in short you are hooked to JIO like you are hooked to facebook
now. Remember the day you first signed up and the day now. I bet many can’t
stay away even few days away. Jio has been talking about giving Rs 50 for 1Gb
data but this seems to be incorrect seeing their plan structure.
1.
For
now there are 7.
Plan Rs 149: 0.3GB + 100
messages +28 days validity
3.
Plan Rs 499: 4GB + voice
and message unlimited + 8GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots + unlimited
night usage + 28 days validity
4.
Plan Rs 999: 10GB + voice
and message unlimited + 20GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots +
unlimited night usage + 28 days validity
5.
Plan Rs 1,499: 20GB +
voice and message unlimited + 40GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots +
unlimited night usage + 40 days validity
6.
Plan Rs 2,499: 35GB +
voice and message unlimited + 70GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots +
unlimited night usage + 28 days validity
7.
Plan Rs 3,999: 60GB +
voice and message unlimited + 120GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots +
unlimited night usage + 28 days validity
8.
Plan Rs 4,999: 75GB +
voice and message unlimited + 150GB data through Jio operated WiFi hotspots +
unlimited night usage + 28 days validity
Minimum recharge of Rs 149 gives you only 0.3GB i.e 300 MB which will last for only a day or two. Hence, once you are hooked up to the JIO service, ready to shell out atleast Rs499 to match the same experience you enjoyed for last few months. Currently someone needing 1 GB data of 3G service end up paying around Rs200 and hence a balance of Rs 300 from so many customer going to Ambaniji’s pocket. Indeed that’s a third master stroke.
1.
Things
to note
2.
-- The Jio service is
free until December 31, 2016.
3.
-- Students will get 25
per cent extra data. All they have to do is show a valid ID card while
subscribing to the plan.
4.
-- There will be special
plans for companies.
5.
-- Voice calls will not
be charged. They will be served using VoLTE and consumers will only for the
data they consume.
What you as a customer
can do to get maximum benefit ?
Well most of us have a
dual sim phone and so try Ambaniji’s offer till the time it doesn’t hurt your
pocket and everything is free. Once you feel like , its getting over budget,
try switching back to your old habits, I know it will be difficult but then
otherwise you will be like one caught in the trap .
Happy reading and
sharing . !!
