Jio launches Rs 15 recharge, offers unlimited 5G data for 24 days
The Story in Brief
Reliance Jio has launched a Rs 15 recharge plan that offers unlimited 5G data with a 24-day validity. The plan, called the 5G Data Booster, will be available from 5 November on the MyJio app and the official Jio portal. To use the unlimited 5G data, customers need a 5G-compatible smartphone and must be in Jio’s True 5G coverage area.
Jio also offers an Rs 11 recharge plan that gives unlimited data for one hour and a Rs 19 plan with one-day validity and 1GB of data. The new Rs 15 booster does not include voice or SMS benefits.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 15-rupee plan is a narrow 5G booster, not a full prepaid pack: it lacks voice or SMS, so users still need a base plan to keep their SIM active. This targets budget smartphone users on Jio’s standalone 5G network who want a low-cost data top-up for streaming or hotspot use. The 24-day validity means a user would spend Rs 180 every 48 weeks for unlimited 5G data, which undercuts Jio’s own daily data packs. What remains unclear is whether this plan works as a standalone for secondary devices or only as an add-on to an existing plan: Jio’s official listing, live from 5 November, will confirm that cap.
