Here, it is worth noting that this scheme was announced a while ago, but the rollout of the scheme was phased. Now, it seems like the Jio 1-year prepaid plan is on a comparatively wider rollout path.
At this juncture, official notifications; through text messaging from Jio states that upon recharging for Rs 1699, prepaid subscribers should be able to indulge in unlimited voice calling. Data limit is set at 1.5GB per day; the overall data consumed over a 1-year period is set at 547.5GB. This scheme is also offering 100 text messages per day free of cost as well as complimentary subscription to Jio Apps. The entire plan is valid for 365 days.
Here, it is worth understanding that state-led telco BSNL also has a similar Rs 1699 365-days recharge scheme that offers free unlimited voice calling and data amounting to as much a 2GB per day; however, one limitation of this plan is that the data offered is 3G as BSNL is yet to officially rollout 4G services on mobile.
