The Rs 189 Plan
The Rs 189 plan gives 28 days of validity, unlimited calling, 300 SMS and 2GB of high-speed data for the whole period, with speed dropping to 64 Kbps after that, according to TelecomTalk. It also includes access to JioTV and JioAICloud on your registered number.
It is aimed at people who mostly want to keep their SIM active and rely on Wi-Fi for data.
The Rs 123 Plan
The Rs 123 plan is reportedly meant for eligible 4G feature phone users. It offers 28 days of validity, unlimited calling, 300 SMS and 500MB of data a day, which adds up to 14GB.
That is seven times the data of the Rs 189 plan for Rs 66 less, but you need the right phone to qualify.
Which One Should You Pick?
If you use a Jio feature phone, the Rs 123 plan gives far more data for a lower price. If you use a smartphone, the Rs 189 plan is the cheaper way to keep a number alive, while heavier users should look at daily-data plans.
