Reliance Jio customers looking for a short-validity calling pack now have four options priced at Rs 147, Rs 177, Rs 196, and Rs 197. Jio lists the plans under the “TRAI Mandated Packs” section on its website.
All four plans offer unlimited voice calling and 300 SMS for their respective validity periods. Customers can choose between 22 days, 28 days, 30 days, and a calendar month, depending on their preferred recharge cycle.
The Rs 147 pack requires the lowest upfront payment among these four options, but lasts 22 days. Spending another Rs 30 on the Rs 177 pack gives customers six additional days, taking validity to 28 days.
The Rs 177 option works out to approximately Rs 6.32 per day, compared with Rs 6.68 for the Rs 147 pack.
While the Rs 147 recharge costs less upfront, the Rs 177 option costs less per day.
The Rs 196 pack provides a fixed 30-day validity period. The Rs 197 option follows a calendar-month cycle, allowing customers to renew on the same date each month. Where that date does not exist in the following month, renewal falls on the last day of that month.
For example, a calendar-month recharge made on November 5 would renew on December 5. A fixed 30-day pack simply follows its stated validity period.
The Re 1 difference is therefore about the recharge cycle. Calling and SMS allowances remain the same, and neither pack includes mobile data.
Airtel already offers three shorter validity voice and SMS plans , priced at Rs 185 for 28 days, Rs 203 for 30 days, and Rs 206 for one month.
