Reliance Jio brings new JioPhone 2021 Offer

• FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND OFFER IN INDIA WITH NEW JIOPHONE
• UNLIMITED VOICE CALLS FOR 2 YEARS UNLIMITED DATA (2 GB/MONTH) FOR 2 YEARS
• FOR SAME BENEFIT, CUSTOMERS PAY 2.5X MORE ON OTHER NETWORKS

Mumbai, 26^th February 2021: JioPhone has ushered an era of transformation for the feature phone users in India and has successfully upgraded more than 100 million users onto the JioPhone platform.

Despite this, India still has 300 million mobile subscribers trapped in the 2G era. To accelerate the ‘2G-mukt Bharat’ movement, Jio has launched yet another offer that keeps affordability at the core of it, making the JioPhone and its services accessible to the 300 million feature phone users.

CURRENT STATE OF THE 300 MILLION FEATURE PHONE USERS:

– The existing feature phone users continue to be overcharged, as they are forced to pay:

•  ₹1.20 to ₹1.50 for every minute of voice call, when affluent smartphone users enjoy free voice calls
  •  ₹45 – ₹50 every month even to keep their connection active and get basic telecom service
• Despite such costly rate for voice calls, these users don’t even get access to the internet!

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Akash Ambani, Director, Reliance Jio, commented,

“There are still 300 million subscribers in India who remain ‘trapped’ in the 2G era, unable to access basic features of the internet, at a time, when the world stands at the cusp of a 5G revolution.

Since the last 4 years Jio has democratized internet and passed on the benefits of technology to every Indian. Technology no longer remains a privilege of a select few.

The New JioPhone 2021 offer is another step in that direction. At Jio, we have and will continue to take bold steps to eradicate this DIGITAL DIVIDE and welcome every Indian to JOIN THIS MOVEMENT.”
