Prepaid customers of Reliance Jio and Airtel have 4 days to dodge upcoming price increases set to start July 3, 2024. Postpaid users, however, cannot avoid the hike.
Jio’s price increases range from 12-25%, while Airtel’s are between 11-21%. For example, Jio’s popular Rs 239 monthly plan with 1.5GB daily data will now cost Rs 299, a 25% jump. The price difference for annual data packs could be up to Rs 600 for both companies.
Prepaid recharges made before July 3 will keep their current pricing, even if the plan is later discontinued or increased.
This offers a chance for savings, especially on long-term plans.
If you are a Jio or Airtel subscriber, you can schedule your recharges in advance. All you need to do is recharge for the desired time period before July 3, and your recharges will be activated successively. Please note that this option is only available for Jio and Airtel subscribers. Vodafone Idea subscribers cannot schedule their recharges, and if they do multiple recharges, their plans will all start at the same time.
