New Jio 199 Postpaid Plan: Rs 199 Per Month Plan With Zero-Touch Feature Available From Today
Reliance Jio's new postpaid plan at Rs 199 per month will be available for subscription from today, May 15. Reliance Jio - which last week announced the new postpaid plan, called "JioPostpaid" - is widely viewed as trigger of intense competition in the telecom sector thanks to its aggressively priced high speed mobile data, say analysts. Reliance Jio has introduced the new postpaid offering with "zero-touch" feature, which equips its subscribers with pre-activated voice, internet (data), SMS and international calling services. "Reliance Jio's aggressively priced postpaid offering entails a tangible risk to Bharti Airtel's earnings outlook," according to Japanese brokerage Nomura, which maintains a 'buy' rating on Bharti Airtel. With its Rs 199 postpaid plan from May 15, Reliance Jio will offer international calling from 50 paise per minute to Rs. 6 per minute, according to a company statement.
