    I think I know "What Jio wants?" - Number 1 position in India (Dominate Indian telecom). So Jio can go to any extent to achieve it.;)

    We must not forget that all these disruptive plans may disappear after 19th October 2019 (the dead line Jio has decided for Vouchers and Plans).:ph34r:

    Anyway - in spite of all the rumpus going around Jio I am enjoying good speed.:wub:

    A republic day gift for everyone from Jio with right to call & internet... 

    No matter how much we grumble or criticise Jio, one thing is sure that for a poor man "Achche Din Aa Gaye", thanks to Mr. Mukesh Ambani for introducing most affordable plans. (approx. 80% of Indian population is still poor)

    1. Now voice users can enjoy unlimited calls, 2GB data & 300 sms for 28 days.

    2. Jio Phone users who think paying ₹153 is too much if they are not using data, then now there is a damn cheap ₹49 plan for them with 1GB data and 50 sms too. And ₹153 plan users will get 1.5GB/day and 100 sms/day too.

    Is this the way they plan to offer competition to Jio or retain their subscribers from switching or lure new customers? It is really sad to see that such a big Telcom is not even capable of designing a good plan for its subscribers. This proves how much they care for their customers. Still dictating terms - (habit is something which is always difficult to change). It is high time for all operators in the field to come out with pure & simple plans without imposing much restrictions / confusing terms, instead should concentrate in maintaining the service quality so as to force the user to stay on their network. Because sincere customers are looking for good service and moderate prices (rock bottom or cheap pricing with odd restrictions is not required).

    Jio has left everyone behind in planning as it also has host of bundled apps along with data offering and since Jio has turned into profit (as reported in last quarter) now they may concentrate on strengthening their network wherever users are facing issues.

    Now you can get rid of the irritating 'Hello Jio' floating icon which appears every time you start MyJio app. Although one could drag and drop the icon on the delete icon near the bottom center of the screen or could permanently stop it by disabling the 'pop up permission' in the app permissions settings, but now after complaining several times Jio has provided a switch to enable or disable it. See the screenshot below :

    1. Go to the MyJio settings > App Settings (you can see the 'HelloJio' as activated)

    2. Tap on 'HelloJio' - a pop-up menu will appear.

    3. Now switch off 'enable'. That's it, done! The thumbnail icon will not appear any more.

    @vishalmcp Though it is not mentioned anywhere in the 'My Vouchers' section but they have mentioned it in their Terms and conditions here recently. They have given an end date for the vouchers to force users (those who have more than 8 vouchers) to use them either by recharging ₹300 and above plans or ₹91 booster plans before 31 October 2019.

    Jio is very much unpredictable so there is a chance that they may extend the validity of these vouchers too when the actual time approaches as we have seen in the past regarding JioMoney vouchers.

    Hi All,

    I have a question regarding Jio 100% cashback vouchers(Rs.50*8).  Jio first launched Jio Diwali 100% cashback which was valid from 12th October and 18th October 2017 with limit of 5 recharges per number. Then they had some other similar offer (dont remember the name) with different name & now they have Surprise cashback offer valid from 26th December 2017 and 15th January 2018 & same limit of 5 recharges per Jio number.

    My question is if someone has already done 5 recharges during Diwali offer & Christmas offer, are they still eligible to get (Rs.50*8) vouchers if they recharge now under Surprise cashback offer ?

    Thank you.

    Jio has already complicated things but here are some of the FAQs that may help. Personally I recommend not to recharge too many vouchers in advance.

    Is there a limit to the number of recharges which I can do?

    You can have a maximum of 25 recharges on your Jio number at any given point of time including add-ons, top-up, plan recharges, ISD/IR packs. However the maximum number of recharges of Rs. 398 or above Plans, during the offer period, can be upto 5 recharges only, per account.

    What will happen to the cash back vouchers (50*8) which I have received under Diwali Dhamaka / Triple cashback / Surprise cash back before 9th Jan'18? Can I still use those cashback vouchers and get an additional discount of Rs 50?

    Yes, you can utilize the Rs. 50 voucher (One Voucher at a time) to buy new recharges of amount greater than 300 and on 91 and above data add on plans via MyJio app.

    If I have recharged with multiple recharges of Rs. 398 and above plans, is there an end date by which I need to activate the queued|upcoming 398 or above plans to avail the Jio 100% cashback?

        1. The maximum number of recharges of Rs. 398 or above plans, during the offer period, can be upto 5 recharges only per account
        2. The cashback vouchers (in multiples of 8) will be credited immediately as soon as you recharge
        3. The maximum validity of any 398 or above plans can be upto 31st October 2019. Hence recommend you to kindly activate any upcoming/queued 398 plan before 31st October 2019 to avail the full benefits and validity.

    If I have purchased multiple vouchers of Rs. 398 and above plans, is there an end date by which I need to redeem them for getting Jio 100% cashback?

        1. The maximum number of vouchers purchased of Rs. 398 and above plans, during the offer period, is upto 5 vouchers only, on your Jio number at any given point of time
        2. Kindly redeem the pending 398 and above plan vouchers (if any) before 31st October 2019 to avail the full benefits and validity
        3. As soon as the 398 or above plan vouchers are redeemed, the cashback vouchers will be credited in the respective MyJio App which can be further be redeemed till 15th November 2019.

    Details from Terms & Conditions: https://www.jio.com/en-in/jio-surprise-cashback-terms-conditions

    Cashback Voucher of Rs. 50

    • Cash back will only be applicable for Rs. 398 or above recharges/vouchers purchased during offer period (26th Dec ’17 – 15th Jan ‘18)
    • Cash back of Rs 400 will be given in form of 8 vouchers of Rs 50 each by Reliance Retail Ltd. & these vouchers can be redeemed, one at a time, against recharges of Rs 309 & above plans and against Rs 91 & above data add-ons.
    • If a customer does a recharge of 149 then 50 Rs voucher cannot be redeemed for that transaction.
    • Cash back (FOC Rs 50*8) vouchers will be given to MSISDN on which the 398 or above voucher is redeemed/ attached.
    • 50 cashback voucher cannot be redeemed while recharging using own account balance.

    This is what even I argue. They are trying to attract more customers at the cost of service and quality. They should concentrate on QOS and customers will opt for them and even at high price.

    There is a big 'Price war' in telecom sector while trying to pull more customers. As far as 'Quality of service' is concerned, it needs more money to maintain it and cannot be achieved using handful of customers with 'High pricing' but can be achieved by increasing the number of users on board and the marketing heads of Airtel, Idea & Vodafone are well aware of it. As I said before, Mukesh Ambani is here to do business & not charity but by its liberal pricing policy has been successful in achieving targets (increasing its subscribers) in a very short period of time as compared to other operators in India.

    Every one is playing his own card whether Jio or AVOID to sustain their business so we cannot blame either of them but yes, we have our choices and can opt for the services best suited to us from the operator of our choice, reason why MNP is there.

    Yes, I agree that the choice is limited now but switching to any of these provides nationwide services too.

    Vodafone is a strong and reliable network in Mumbai now, but when I took the connection several years back it was "Orange" (later became Hutch & finally Vodafone and may become Idea after two years) and did not have much towers unlike "BPL" (the main operator in Mumbai at that time). It was people like me who kept writing about network issues to them and at least three new towers were installed as the outcome of my effort alone. I still have the confirmation letters from them regarding the installation of the towers in the areas against my complaints. I even forced reliance (CDMA) to erect one tower in my area. It wasn't easy switching operators as MNP was not present in those days and switching operator meant losing number. But today we are free to switch network if we are not satisfied instead of complaining and getting the things fixed.

    One thing should be clear in our mind that we cannot force any company to change its policy but can pressurise them to improve services. A customer rules - Companies are providers and we are the choosers these days.;)

    This is a much anticipated move by Jio which is no surprise as I was expecting this. Because Jio wanted to lure more customers but the ₹99 (Prime membership) was hindering the process of acquiring New as well as MNP customers as the validity of Prime membership is only till 31st March 2018 and not one year from the date of subscription. Keeping this in mind AVOID were offering all plans resembling Jio's with just ₹50 more and were still ₹50 below the total cost of the similar Jio plan just because of additional ₹99 Prime membership for new as well as the MNP customers.

    Since Jio's policy is to treat all (new or existing) customers equally without discrimination so the price reduction to attract more customers is beneficial for its existing customers too.

    We can expect an upward price revision again by the end of the first quarter of this year when the next Prime membership cycle begins.

    Reliance Jio is updating some of its plans from 9th January 2018. (it will be worth waiting if someone is planning to recharge)

    The updated plans are under the ‘Jio Happy New Year 2018’ offering.

    These plans will be exclusive for Jio Prime members only.

    According to the announcement, the company will decrease the pricing of the plans by ₹50 which offer 1 GB of 4G data per day. This means that users will have to play less while getting the same/existing benefits. The company has left the validity of the plans unchanged. The list of plans has been provided in the image down below.

    Jio-Happy-New-Year-2018-Plans-16x9.thumb.jpg.ad5e2904d8ad934ca01d3260ddefd42b.jpg

    This is not the only deal that the company announced as part of the offering but according to the New Year 2018 offer, the company has also increased the amount of data which will be 1.5 GB per day instead of 1 GB per day, 1.5 GB plans will also be exclusive available to Prime users with no change in the validity of the plans.

    @nitink I would suggest you to pay online and close the chapter if the number is important for you and you want to retain it. Because, somehow if the cheque gets misplaced or does not clear even after a month the payment will appear as unpaid and you might loose the number (you will not have any receipt to prove that you dropped the cheque) and Rcom doesn't have anything to loose (reason they are behaving shamelessly). Don't be belligerent ! be wise.... (my advise);)

    i ported on 17th Nov , and this bill is from 22-Nov-2017 to 14-Dec-2017

    previous  bill for Nov  was like this. Y shd i pay them when i did not avail any of their service for the mentioned period. This Nov bill shd hv been my last bill anyways and I paid for 4 days more . 

    Reliance number
    80100xxxxx
    This Month's Charges (Rs.)
    743.44
    Relationship number
    50000xxxxxxx
    Total Due amount (Rs.)

    Bill period
    22-Oct-2017 to 21-Nov-2017
    Payment Due date
    02-Dec-17

    May be they have put the wrong number on the bill because if I remember correctly your second number got activated on 14th December after porting. Did you receive the final bill for that number? Maybe your Relationship number was common & the number shown here was your first or primary number.

    One lesson learnt not to recharge any number with 70 days plan. First did a a recharge of 70 days in airtel pathetic 3g/4g network in Mumbai / Mh. After completion of 70 days in airtel recharged my idea number with 70 days Pathetic data coverage in Mumbai. One suggestion go with 28 days pack

    Absolutely right. Airtel data connection frequently gets disconnected & it only reconnects after multiple tries (Mumbai). It is very risky in doing online financial/banking transactions due to frequent disruption while the payment is being processed through gateway. I should have opted for 28 days plan & will use Airtel for voice calls only in future.

    459 voucher gives unlimited calls + daily 1 GB for 84 days. A person has to spend 447 for 84 days if recharging with 149 and only get unlimited calls + total 12 GB. With 50 discount voucher 449 becomes 409. So recharging 149 does not seem a wise choice.

    You are right as ₹459 is the best option for most of us (including me & my wife) but my father-in-law is using the JioPhone with ₹153 plan and seldom uses data (only for watching/listening news in JioTV when he is somewhere out).

    Most senior citizens use phone for calls and prefer paying monthly rather paying in advance for 3 months since data is not their concern or requirement. They are interested in free calls only which they are getting by paying ₹149.

    Let me put here that even ₹149 is too much for some who rarely make any calls and are using number for just communicating with rest of the family (mostly incoming) reason still most of the low ARPU users are on other networks as Jio is forcing users to opt for fixed validity recharges to use their services unlike others wherein one can load talk time and use it occasionally beyond 28 days without spending extra.

    In India people still process more than one Sim (minimum 2 sim) - so if someone was using more than 3 or 4 sims has to balance his monthly expenses towards keeping them active. After the advent of Jio now people are dumping extra Sims which are not important. Even old Jio sim is being discarded after porting the main number to Jio by some people.

    Jio is mainly good for data users as Volte still has some glitches which differ from handset to handset.

    The terms themselves reflect that they were drafted hastily. What do they mean by "(e.g. if a customer consumes 1000 mins on 2nd day , s/he would be charged for rest of the five days)"? They should have mentioned 4 days - because free calls limit is 250 minutes per day (beyond which the user will be charged 30p). So if someone uses in excess of 250 minutes a day and even after paying (@ 30p) for extra usage is deprived of using free benefits for the rest of the week because he simply crossed 1000 minutes limit is weird & absurd. Mentioning of consumption of 1000 minutes in 2 days refers to total consumption - because if the free limit is 250 minutes per day how can one consume 1000 (free) minutes in 2 days. This has been put into terms to confuse the user and later charge (loot) them if someone exceeds the limit.

    What about Airtel? Is there any similar limitations?

    For prepaid, obviously auto-debit is as good as useless, nullifying the goodness of Vouchers and plan queuing options of Jio, imho.

    You are right. But It may be good for those who are using ₹149 and don't want to be bothered about recharging every 28 days to get uninterrupted service. This can be for them who don't want to spend extra in advance and don't need much data & their primary requirement is voice calls only.
