What's new in Jio's Rs 189 plan?
Jio's Rs 189 prepaid plan comes with a 28-day validity. During this period, you can make unlimited voice calls to any network across the country. You also get 300 SMS per day, which is enough for basic communication.
In terms of data, the plan offers 2GB high-speed data. This plan is valid for 28-days. After the 2GB limit is reached, the speed is reduced to 64Kbps. That is, basic messaging or light internet use can continue.
You also get access to Jio Digital Services.
The Rs 189 plan also offers access to JioTV and JioAicloud. You can watch the live stream on JioTV. You can store your files and photos online in JioAICloud. However, this plan does not include JioCinema Premium content. JioCinema is available for free. If you are a fan of OTT content, then you will have to look for other plans.
What happens after the 2GB data is exhausted?
There is a common misconception that the internet shuts down completely when the data is lost, but this is not the case. After the 2GB data is exhausted, the speed is reduced to 64Kbps. This speed is sufficient for WhatsApp messaging, checking emails, and light browsing. Of course, streaming video or downloading large files will not be possible, but the basic requirements are met.
