Reliance Jio Prime membership enrollment starts today: All you need to know

Reliance Jio will start to enroll customers to its Jio Prime membership plan from today. The Jio Prime plan, which is an extension of the company’s ‘Happy New Year’ offer, will be available at a subscription fee of Rs 99. Additionally, users will have to pay Rs 303 per month to access Jio’s 4G services as well as the entire bouquet of Jio media services till March 31, 2018.

Just like Jio’s ‘Happy New Year’ plan, the Prime programme will also have a FUP limit of 1GB data per day. This means users will get 30GB data per month for a year, effectively at Rs 10 per day. Reliance Jio users can enroll in to the Jio Prime membership programme latest by March 31. Users who’re not on Jio can get on the network on or before March 31 to avail the Prime membership offer.

How to enroll

Reliance Jio users can enroll in to the Prime programme via MyJio app. Open the app and click on the menu tab present at the left corner. ‘Jio Prime’ is listed as the first option in the menu. Clicking on the ‘Jio Prime’ option will take you to a page where you’ll see ‘Get Jio Prime’ and ‘Gift Jio Prime’ options at the bottom. Go to ‘Get Jio Prime’ to enroll yourself to the programme.

Next, you can browse plans which includes combo packs and booster packs. At this moment, there’s a ISD combo pack for Rs 501 valid for 28 days and can be used for making ISD calls while in India. There’s a SMS pack for Rs 201. Booster plans include a Rs 301 pack with 6GB LTE data and  validity of Rs 28 as well as a Rs 51 data pack that gives access to 1GB LTE data and has the same validity.

However, we couldn’t get straight to Jio Prime subscription page without choosing one of the booster or combo packs. The app took us to payment gateway only after we selected one of these plans. Meanwhile, we’ve reached out to Jio on how to directly subscribe to the Jio Prime programme worth Rs 99.

What all is covered under Jio Prime programme?

Everything covered under Jio’s Happy New Year plan will be also be a part of the company’s Prime membership programme. This means there will be a 1GB FUP limit as well as free data, voice calling, national roaming and more. Reliance Jio plans come bundled with free access to Jio apps, including MyJio, JioChat, JioMoney, JioMusic etc. Content on these apps can only be accessed via the Jio network.

What happens if I don’t take Jio Prime membership before March 31?

Reliance Jio 4G services will go paid from April 1, 2017. If you are one of those who don’t want to switch to the Jio Prime membership plan, then you will be charged as per tariffs announced by the company last year.
