Reliance Jio’s Rs 319 prepaid plan offers users a distinctive “calendar-month validity.” Unlike traditional plans that follow a fixed number of days, this plan ensures that users enjoy uninterrupted service from the date of recharge (D) to the day before the same date in the following month (D-1).
For instance, if a user recharges on March 5th, the plan remains active until April 4th, with the next recharge due on April 5th. This innovation means users will recharge on the same date each month, providing a postpaid-like convenience without the need to remember varied plan expiry dates.
Key features of Jio Rs 319 plan
The Jio Rs 319 prepaid plan is packed with benefits that cater to heavy data users and those who prefer seamless connectivity. Here are the primary features:
- 1.5GB daily data: Users can enjoy high-speed internet with a daily data limit of 1.5GB. After exhausting the daily limit, the speed reduces, but connectivity remains uninterrupted.
- Unlimited voice calling: The plan includes unlimited voice calls to any network across India, ensuring users can stay connected without worrying about additional charges.
- 100 SMS per day: Subscribers can send up to 100 SMS daily, perfect for staying in touch via text.
- Calendar Month Validity: The standout feature, offering month-to-month validity irrespective of the number of days in the month.
Compliance with TRAI regulations
Following the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) 2022 mandate, telecom operators were required to introduce plans with a 30-day validity. Back in the day, Jio had responded by launching the Rs 296 and Rs 259 plans. While the Rs 296 plan provided unlimited calling, 100 SMS per day, and 25GB of data for 30 days, the Rs 259 plan offered calendar-month validity similar to the Rs 319 plan but at a lower price point. Both plans have since been discontinued.
What is Calendar Month Validity?
Jio’s website elaborates that calendar month validity means the plan remains active from the recharge date in one month to the day before the same date in the following month. For example, a recharge on March 10th will be valid until April 9th. This structure provides users with a predictable and convenient recharge schedule.
