Jio launches cheaper voice-only recharge plans in India, starting at Rs 147
What happened
According to Jagran and Navbharat Times, Jio has introduced new low-cost recharge plans focused on calling, starting at Rs 147. Navbharat Times says the plans include 84-day and 336-day options. Jagran describes four voice-only plans with validity of up to a calendar month.
When it started
The publication dates of the articles were not included in the material provided, so the launch date is unknown. Navbharat Times says the move follows similar cheaper calling plans from Airtel and Vi.
How it spread
The sources do not describe the full terms, benefits, or how to activate the plans. An AajTak visual story separately headlines a Rs 51 Jio plan with unlimited 5G data, but its details were not available to confirm.
Why it matters
The coverage frames the plans as options for users who want calling rather than data, at lower prices. Navbharat Times links the launch to Airtel and Vi's earlier affordable calling plans, and its URL refers to a TRAI-mandated voice pack, though the article text was not provided.
