Reliance Jio currently offers 12 top up recharge packs. Priced between Rs 10 and Rs 5,000, these top up recharge vouchers come with unlimited validity period, according to the telecom company's website - jio.com. That means the "talktime" or talk-value added to a Reliance Jio prepaid connection by activating the recharge stays in the account indefinitely. Talktime refers to the value received by the subscriber in form of amount of money or minutes in a prepaid account on activation of a recharge coupon or voucher. This value can be consumed by the subscriber for using telecom services such as voice calls. Reliance Jio offers two kinds of top up recharge plans: those that come with regular talktime and those without.
Reliance Jio, the latest entrant in the country's telecom sector, currently provides its prepaid users with three options to recharge their connection in the "regular talktime" category. These top up recharge coupons are priced at Rs 10, Rs 20 and Rs 50, according to the Jio website.
| Plan | Validity | Talktime benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Rs 10 | Unlimited | Rs 7.70 |
| Rs 20 | Unlimited | Rs 15.39 |
| Rs 50 | Unlimited | Rs 40.48 |
