With Diwali around the corner, Jio is offering a new deal for India’s 2G phone users, aiming to make high-speed connectivity accessible to more people.
Under the JioBharat Diwali Dhamaka offer, the JioBharat 4G phone, typically priced at Rs 999, is now available for just Rs 699. This limited-time offer not only brings down the cost of the phone but also comes with an affordable monthly plan, making it an appealing choice for those looking to upgrade to 4G.
For a monthly fee of Rs 123, JioBharat users get a package that includes unlimited voice calls, 14 GB of data, and access to over 455 live TV channels. This plan also offers access to movie premieres, video shows, live sports, and highlights through JioCinema. Users can also make and receive digital payments via JioPay, even using QR code scans, and get audio notifications for received payments. On top of this, JioBharat users can connect with friends and family through JioChat, where they can share videos, photos, and messages, bringing a smartphone-like experience to a feature phone.
One of the highlights of this deal is the affordability compared to other operators. While other telecom providers charge Rs 199 per month for basic feature phone plans, JioBharat’s Rs 123 plan is nearly 40% cheaper. This pricing not only helps users save Rs 76 every month but also means that, within nine months, the savings equal the cost of the phone. Essentially, the JioBharat phone becomes “free” for users who stick with the Rs 123 plan long-term.
Jio is aiming for more than just a phone sale here; it’s about making digital connectivity accessible to everyone, especially for those still on 2G networks. With added features like live TV and digital payments, JioBharat is marketing this phone as an all-in-one device for communication, entertainment, and even transactions.
For those interested in switching, the JioBharat Diwali Dhamaka offer is available at various retail outlets, JioMart, and Amazon, giving easy access to anyone wanting to upgrade. As Jio puts it, this Diwali offer is “sabse lasta, sabse badiya” (the cheapest and the best) for anyone looking to join the 4G world affordably.
