# Jio launches Rs 198 5G recharge plan with unlimited data 2026-10-08T15:53:02+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Reliance Jio has rolled out what it calls its cheapest 5G recharge plan, priced at Rs 198. The pack offers unlimited True 5G data on compatible handsets, along with unlimited voice calls. Users on 4G networks get 2GB of data per day under the plan. The Rs 198 plan also includes 100 free SMS per day and free subscriptions to JioCloud and JioTV. Its validity is 14 days from recharge. The unlimited 5G benefit is available only on phones that support Jio's 5G network. Jio has not announced a specific end date for the plan. The pack is one of several tariff options the operator offers as it works to expand its 5G subscriber base. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The ₹198 plan gives the cheapest entry into 5G but ties it to a 14-day window with 2GB of 4G daily data, meaning unlimited 5G is effectively a bonus on a limited-validity pack. Users on 5G handsets get high speed without caps, but the short validity forces frequent recharges if the plan is used as a primary connection. The pack also bundles JioCloud and JioTV subscriptions, adding entertainment value. Jio thus positions this as a trial or backup option rather than a main data plan, targeting users who want a low-cost taste of 5G without committing to longer plans. ## Coverage - aajtak.in straight service news, no government angle This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
