JioPhone Price and Data Plans
The Reliance JioPhone is available at an effective cost of Rs 0, but users will have to pay Rs 1500 security deposit for three years. This is still cheaper than any good feature phone out there in the market as the cost of ownership is at just Rs 500/year. Jio recharge plans and sachet packs start at Rs 153 per month. It gives users unlimited data on this 4G VoLTE feature phone. The unlimited data has 0.5GB or 500 MB FUP per day. This is a total of 14GB data for a recharge period. You can also broadcast your JioTV app on your television and it really does not need to be smart. For that user will have to pay an additional recharge value of Rs 309, which is still cheaper than a DTH connection in India. The monthly plan will let users watch three to four hours of video on their television sets. Reliance Jio has two sachet packs of Rs 24 for two days and Rs 54 per week that offer same benefits.
