Jio’s new Rs 259 prepaid recharge pack finally offers true ‘monthly’ validity: check out the details

The Jio Rs 259 plan comes a few days after Jio introduced its Rs 279 and Rs 555 plans that offer a Disney+ Hotstar subscription. Let’s take a look at the benefits the Jio Rs 259 puts on the table.

Jio Rs 259 recharge: benefits and validity

Reliance Jio Rs 259 plan benefits

• Month-long validity
• 1.5GB high-speed 4G data per day
• Unlimited local and STD calling
• 100 SMSes per day
• Jio Apps subscription

The Rs 259 Jio recharge is a monthly calendar plan where the user gets the validity of an entire month, as we mentioned above. The pack offers 1.5GB of daily data, so users will get 42GB to 46.5GB of 4G data depending on the month. After FUP, the speed drops to 64kbps. Further, the user gets unlimited voice calls on local and STD numbers across all networks, along with 100 SMSes per day. Additionally, the Rs 259 Jio plan provides a complimentary subscription to Jio apps like Jio TV, JioCinema, JioSecurity, and JioCloud.

Jio Rs 259 vs Rs 279 recharge plans compared

The closely priced Rs 279 Disney+ Hotstar pack may be mistaken for in-house competition for the new Rs 259 Jio recharge plan. However, the former is only an add-on recharge, so users won’t get any unlimited calling and free SMS privileges. And as the name suggests, the Rs 279 pack offers free Disney+ Hotstar access to subscribers, though there will be ads. The data is also limited to 15GB, that too only until the existing primary plan’s validity.
