Good News for Jio ₹149 plan users. Jio has upgraded its ₹149 plan & is now offering unlimited data on this basic plan. While most other plans from Jio come with a post FUP speed of 128 Kbps, the ₹149 plan will come with a post FUP speed of 64 Kbps. Earlier, Jio was offering 2GB 4G data, unlimited voice calls and 300 SMSs with a validity of 28 days. So, once you finished your 2GB data, you could no longer use data unless you buy a booster pack. But now Jio has updated its plans on its website and added a post FUP speed of 64 Kbps. According to the updated plans, users will get a post FUP speed of 64 Kbps once they finish their 2GB 4G data. Apart from this, there is no other change in the ₹149 plan. Users who recharge with ₹149 will now get 2GB 4G data, post FUP speed of 64 Kbps, unlimited voice calls, 300 SMSs and unlimited access to Jio’s suite of apps.

Yes ! you are absolutely correct.

SRVCC was introduced way back in 2011-2012 by Qualcomm in S4 MSM 8960. More info at : https://www.sonlte.com/ericsson-and-qualcomm-release-details-on-volte-to-wcdma-srvcc-handover/ https://www.ericsson.com/en/news/2012/2/milestone-for-volte-voice-handover https://www.anandtech.com/show/5490/qualcomm-announces-successful-srvcc-from-lte-to-wcdma-on-msm8960

@KanagaDeepan although it is not mentioned on the web page (marketing gimmick) but SRVCC is a modem specific feature, so it appears in the specification when we compare chipsets. Further I also downloaded the detailed Pdf of SD 650 and there also it is clearly mentioned. This seems to be a kind of marketing trend these days, even Intel does not give full capabilities of its chipsets on website unless you download the detailed (technical) Pdf document.

@KanagaDeepan Snapdragon 650, 652 & 617 uses X8 LTE modem which supports SRVCC. Snapdragon 821 uses X12 LTE modem which also supports SRVCC. Refer here for details. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/modems/comparison

TRAI has reduced interconnect usage charge (IUC) to six paise with effect from 1st October and abolished it all together for all local calls starting 1 January 2020. Read full article here: http://www.livemint.com/Industry/hVC1wiXiOvvNchHh5Jt7hI/Reliance-Jio-prevails-over-Airtel-as-Trai-cuts-IUC-to-6-pais.html

AVOId (Airtel/Vodafone/Idea) are planning to move to the court as they are not happy with the decision. Read below : http://m.economictimes.com/news/economy/policy/trai-cuts-interconnect-charges-to-6-paise-a-minute-from-oct-1-jio-gains-incumbents-lose/articleshow/60753011.cms

You can go for ₹999 as it is giving promotional 90Gb with 90 days validity.

Yes my 3rd recharge of ₹303 also has 28 days validity only. No bonus voucher. ₹399 will give 84 days (go for it). ₹309 will give 56 days. More offers are expected during Diwali.

Did you try changing port to 465, 587 or 2525 from default port 25? Also get into JioFi's Web admin and try setting port forwarding.

Yes now it's working fine.

Still not working. Same as before.

Browsing the forum using previous or next button gets stuck with loading caption and the page loads only after refreshing the page again in Chrome browser (mobile) on RN3. Please check and resolve this issue. Update : Today I noticed that this occurs only while browsing through posts within a thread / topic. Otherwise while browsing forum it is working.

For the first recharge of ₹303 = you already got "Summer Surprise" - So no extra voucher. For the second recharge of ₹303 = you are eligible to get 28 days extra - So you got 1 Free voucher. For the third recharge of ₹303 = Still it is not clear since Jio only promised additional data for the 2nd recharge and default validity for ₹303 & ₹309 is 28 days only for subsequent recharges unless Jio makes any further announcements.

In my wife's case I had three consecutive ₹149 recharges (done in March) and then ₹303 (last) done in April and after Summer Surprise ₹149 (1) got activated and after that ₹303 (4rth recharge) got activated overriding ₹149 (2 & 3). This also appeared under upcoming plan list with ₹303 moved up (reordered as ₹149, ₹303, ₹149, ₹149).

Don't recharge ₹399 more than once as it will provide 84 days for the first recharge only. Instead recharging with ₹309 will provide 56 days for the first recharge. Customer care told me not to do multiple or additional recharges at the moment as more lucrative festival offers are on the way. If anyone has multiple ₹149 or ₹303 or ₹309 - after recharging with ₹399 you may override and switch to ₹399 anytime by using "Activate" button. I have further found that the higher value of queued recharges gets activated first irrespective of the order of recharge. Did anyone else also experienced similar behavior?

No it doesn't add 28 days to the existing plan but will get activated concurrently. It is like an independent voucher and should be only activated after expiry of any current plan. It will remain listed in the My Vouchers forever if not used (will not expire). ₹399 is providing 84 days for the first time recharge irrespective of whether you are on ₹149, ₹303 or ₹309 etc.

Last week I enquired about MNP at Jio Store (Mumbai) and was told that there is no issue if the existing number is prepaid but in case of post paid sometimes MNP gets rejected without any reason. May be deliberately done by donor Network.

I am using RN3 & it is working fine with Camera and Microphone permission off/disabled. Try Clearing the data & force stop the app. On the first run it will ask you to enable 5 permissions only viz :- Contacts, Location, SMS, Storage & Telephone. I have done this several times (to verify) and found that it offer 5 permissions only on the first run and Camera & Microphone permission remains disabled. It will only ask permission for Camera when you will try to add your own picture by clicking "add photo" in profile settings. No clue about Microphone permission. While disabling permission, all apps respond that the app may not work if you disable any permission - but they work and if you click on any option which requires that particular permission only then it will show a pop-up asking you to allow /enable that particular permission.

Camera & Microphone permission is not enabled by default - so no need to worry about. Go to Installed apps > Downloaded > MyJio app > App permissions (scroll down to access) & check. Only 5 permissions are enabled. Clear data and force stop the app. When you start MyJio - it will ask you to enable /allow only those 5 permissions.

Yes - read this post Here for more details. Also read this post if you want to switch to plan of your choice before any upcoming plan gets activated automatically. You can also buy ₹399 plan (84 days) and activate it before the expiry or on the last day of your current plan if you wish.
