Users of the 4G-enabled Reliance Jio phone recently got a third telecom tariff plan. Other than Reliance Jio's plans priced at Rs 49 and Rs 153, users of the Reliance Jio phone - called JioPhone - can now subscribe to a plan priced at Rs 99. All three of these Reliance Jio plans, the Rs 49 Jio phone plan, the Rs 99 Jio phone plan and the Rs 153 Reliance Jio plan, are meant to be used in the JioPhone device. That means the Jio phone plans "work only if SIM is in JioPhone", according to the telecom company's website - jio.com.
Here is a comparison among three plans Reliance Jio offers at present for use with the JioPhone:
