Those who did Rs.149 recharge now have to do one more recharge of 303 in 2 weeks.

Would have been happier if we also got unlimited voice with only 2GB data per month for this period with just this Rs.149 like how the 303+ folks got. We don't need so much data and that is the main reason why we went for 149 in the 1st place. Not impressed with how they keep forcing us to take up the 303+ plans.

Take it as blessing in disguise though there is no loss in this scheme. You were going to pay 149 rs per month for 3 months according to your plan, now you shall be paying avg. 100 rs pm for 3 months with 1gb per day. Anyway you will be saving 50 rs pm with this scheme.

That is true. In the end it does work out cheaper. But just really frustrated that we have to pay one more time immediately and wait for 3 months for the older recharge to activate.
I was just hoping that they start their proper paid services so that the QoS starts improving.

Who knows what Jio will do then, they might pull this off again and ask people to do one more 303 recharge.

Someone had mentioned that Jio were serious about their 300 ARPU - This is as good a way as any to tell people we are looking at 300 INR spendings per month mainly.

As for the next 303 recharge, it will be called Monsoon offer :P

Thing is, it's not really a ~300 monthly arpu. 303/4=75.75. In some cases 253/4=63.25. And as soon as they come to a fixed 303/p.m. with no free 3 months etc. i will switch back to 149. So dunno how they're gonna pull this off lol. Never underestimate the Ambanis though...

Its not 300, I agree, but people are being discouraged to spend less than 303...
 
They are making you get used to a pattern. They could have announced Summer offer on 30th or 31st morning itself. But they waited to see what will be the final prime numbers. Seems like their own BOA--MERILYN survey was improper, they should have believed that survey and kept quiet.
Its worth noting that they've shut credit Suisse's mouth because they tried to misled people that unlimited calls will have a cap of 1k mins.



One word for a hundred.. You cannot live without minimum 5GB data and Free calls in coming days and for that he wants you to pay 300

It was the hype as well - I was besieged by several people in my office about Jio, and additionally, we - that is my company signed an LoI with Jio as well. Now I think I made a small mistake, I should have put 3 times the numbers to what I actually put!

For a while I read it as your company LoL'd with Jio.
I imagined the faces of AVoId management while your company LoL'd with Jio. :D

Anyone going to recharge from freecharge please be careful, Yesterday recharged 2 numbers and just selected the option freechage gave (301rs) and went ahead. got 6gb data on each number so total waste of money lol... The number is 303 not 301 and I thought freechage would be showing the most common recharge, anyways its my fault that I didn't check if I should recharge with 301 or 303 so I can't do anything.
Just wanted everyone to be careful while recharging

Even a non Jio user knows its 99+303. I don't think there would be any confusion. Btw Thanks for the heads-up!

So those who've done the 99 recharge have the main myjio dashboard page displaying 'Prime Member' in gold.

But is there any indication for those who've also done frc 303 that they're on the 3 months free thing? Coz I've only done the 149 so far, but it shows summer surprise under prime member on the dashboard.

I have queued 4 Rs. 303 plans but still it showed that offer for me as well on the dashboard.When I clicked Recharge Now however the offer was no longer shown in the available recharges.

That's what I'm saying, they're aggressively pretty much forcing people to do the 303 because any other recharge is stupid basically, but they're actually only earning under 100/p.m., but once the free stuff is gone, there are lots of people like me (for example, those with WiFi at home and office), who are fine with 2gb/p.m. and they will all switch to 149. What are they gonna do then?

All these tricks are fun and all, but actually getting 300/p.m. Is another matter...

Confused, if it doesn't show the 303 then how will you queue multiple recharges?
 
I have paid 535 last month for 1 GB of data and around 200 mins of calls for my Vodafone 4G postpaid plan.Once Jio network becomes a bit more stable I will definitely port over to Jio and drop Vodafone after 11 years.
