Hey Readers, so finally Reliance Jio has been launched and from 5th of September everyone can avail Jio Services. Here in this post We will guide you about full detailed info of Reliance Jio 4G launch including all tariff & plans which announced by Reliance Chairman, Mukesh Ambani on 1st September.Data is the oxygen of digital life. Jio is more than just a business. It is a commitment to enrich the life of every Indian ~ Ambani.
At Reliance AGM, Mukesh Ambani finally broke the silence on the tariffs for Reliance Jio. The company will not be charging for voice calls at all, and it will charge a tenth of what its competitors are charging for 4G data, Ambani said – it was announced that Jio will charge only 5 paise per MB, or Rs. 50 per GB. What’s more, the greater the usage, the lower the cost will be, and the rates could go down to Rs. 25 per GB.
At the AGM, Ambani also announced that Jio services will become available from Monday, September 5, absolutely free as part of the ‘Jio welcome offer’, so everyone can try Jio’s services at no charge.
“PAY FOR ONLY ONE SERVICE – EITHER VOICE OR DATA, NOT BOTH,” HE SAID. “WORLD OVER, OPERATORS CHARGE ONLY FOR DATA, VOICE AND MESSAGING ARE ESSENTIALLY FREE. ALL VOICE CALLS FOR JIO CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FREE.”

Going by these plans, the rates are actually a little different from the Rs. 50 for 1GB that was announced. The cheapest plan is actually a lot more expensive – you get 300MB of data for Rs. 149, or around Rs. 450 per GB. However, with the other plans, once you count the Wi-Fi hotspot data as well, it does work out to the rate that was announced – for example, the Rs. 499 pack gives you a total of 12GB including Wi-Fi, which works out to approximately Rs. 42 per GB. The bigger packs do get cheaper this way, so for example, the most expensive Rs. 4,999 pack gives you 225GB of data including Wi-Fi, which works out to approximately Rs. 23 per GB. And this does not account for the unlimited 4G at night you will get as well.
He also added that data must be affordable for all users. “Current market practice is to charge for data a base rate between Rs. 4,000 and Rs. 10,000 – Jio will have a base rate which is 1/10th of this,” Ambani said. “Our data plans go even further with an effective rate of 5p/MB or Rs. 50/ GB.” Students will get 25 percent extra data on the tariffs, if they show a valid ID when signing up for Jio.
