JIO ENSURES THAT JIOPHONE USERS WILL REMAIN CONNECTED DURING THE PANDEMIC
JIOPHONE USERS TO GET 300 MINUTES OF OUTGOING VOICE CALLS PER MONTH, FREE
BUY-ONE-GET-ONE WITH EVERY JIOPHONE PLAN
Mumbai, 14th May 2021: JioPhone was launched with the mission to provide a digital life to every Indian. In these unprecedented times of the Covid pandemic, we at Jio want to ensure that staying connected remains accessible and affordable for all customers, especially the less-privileged sections of our society.
To ensure this, Jio has announced two special initiatives for the pandemic period:
- Jio working with Reliance Foundation will provide 300 free minutes of outgoing calls per month (10 minutes per day) for the entire period of the pandemic, to JioPhone users who have not been able to recharge due to the ongoing pandemic.
- Additionally, to further enhance affordability, for every JioPhone plan[1] recharged by JioPhone user, they will get an additional recharge plan of the same value for free. For example, a JioPhone user recharging with Rs 75 plan, will get an additional Rs 75 plan absolutely free.
Reliance is committed to standing with every Indian during these challenging times, and will continue to make every effort to enable our fellow citizens to overcome the difficulties created by the pandemic.
