The country's leading telecom company Reliance Jio has given a big shock to its users. The company has decided to discontinue its cheap recharge plan. The price of this plan is Rs 209. Users are upset with the company's discontinuation of this prepaid plan. In this plan, users were offered 1GB data every day with a validity of 22 days. Along with this, 100 SMS were also offered every day along with unlimited voice calling in this plan. In this plan, users were also offered access to platforms like JioTV and JioCloud. After the daily data limit was exhausted, the internet speed became 64 Kbps.

Now, with this plan's sudden discontinuation, customers will have to spend more money on recharges. Jio's decision marks a significant change for millions of low-income mobile users in India. This decision is quite surprising for users who rely on the company's low-cost recharge plans. Users who previously purchased this plan will now have to choose another plan.

How will this affect users?

It is being discussed that the company has taken this decision so that users have to buy higher priced plans. This strategy will help the company in increasing the average revenue per user (ARPU). Market experts say that the company needs to raise funds for its global 5G network expansion. For this reason, the company has now discontinued its cheap recharge plans, due to which users are forced to buy expensive recharge plans. Increasing the prices of recharge plans and discontinuing cheap plans has become a very common thing in the Indian telecom sector for some time now. Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea also recently announced increasing the prices of their recharge plans.

Customers have the option of these recharge plans.
After the company discontinued its Rs. 209 plan, users can now consider the Rs. 249 plan. This recharge plan offers users a validity of 28 days. Additionally, users purchasing this plan also receive 1GB of data per day. Customers are currently comparing Jio's recharge plans with those from other telecom companies.
