Jio users in these cities will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer by which they can enjoy unlimited 5G data at up to 1 Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost, starting today.
Jio started 5G rollout with select Indian cities- Delhi NCR, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, Varanasi, Chennai and Hyderabad. Jio is offering 5G on an invite-basis called the Jio Welcome offer. Those living in a 5G-enabled city and using a 5G compatible phone with a Jio SIM will get the invite for the Jio Welcome offer.
