Unpacking the Rs. 1,029 Prepaid Plan Update and its Far-Reaching Implications

Jio Updates Prepaid Plan with Longer Amazon Prime Lite Subscription

Reliance Jio has quietly updated its Rs. 1,029 prepaid plan, replacing the 56-day Amazon Prime Video Mobile Edition subscription with a more generous 84-day subscription to Amazon Prime Lite. The change, reflected on Jio's official website, has not been formally announced by the company.

This update offers several benefits to Jio users. Amazon Prime Lite provides access to streaming on two devices (TV or mobile) in HD (720p), includes free one-day delivery, and is available directly from Amazon. This is a significant upgrade from the previous Prime Video Mobile Edition, which was limited to a single mobile device, offered standard definition streaming, and was available in select countries.

In addition to the longer Prime Lite subscription, the Rs. 1,029 plan also includes unlimited 5G data for eligible users in areas with Jio 5G coverage, along with access to other Jio entertainment apps.

This update makes Jio's Rs. 1,029 plan even more attractive, offering a compelling combination of data, OTT benefits, and streaming access. However, it's worth noting that Airtel offers a similar plan with a full 84-day Amazon Prime subscription for Rs 838. However, this plan provides 3GB of daily data (252GB total) but only has a 56-day validity period.

Ultimately, the best plan for you will depend on your individual needs and usage patterns. If you value streaming access and are looking for a longer validity period, Jio's updated Rs. 1,029 plan is a strong contender. However, if you prioritize data and are willing to sacrifice some validity, Airtel's plan might be a better option.
