After kicking off its Preview Offer to select Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Reliance Jio is now planning to offer the same to select Apple iPhone users, reports BGR India.
Reliance Jio will extend the offer, likely to be announced this week to users of VoLTE enabled iPhones, which includes the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE. The offer will include unlimited voice calls, SMS, data and entertainment services including live TV streaming, video on demand and music on demand, free for three months.
Here is how it works: iPhone users will have to install the My Jio app and generate a bar code to get a Reliance Jio SIM card. This bar code would then be used to fill in the CAF form.
Reliance Jio is the only carrier in India to offer VoLTE services. However, the offer won’t be limited to Apple and Samsung alone. The company has already distributed testing SIM cards to most brands, which are already launching VoLTE smartphones. Most of these brands are also likely get the preview offer in the coming weeks, writes BGR India.
Cheap Prepaid Tariffs
There are speculations that Reliance is planning to finally launch its commercial services in August 15. Though, nothing has been officially confirmed, BGR India reports having got its hands on a Jio SIM card that reveals prepaid tariffs that are eight times cheaper than the likes of Airtel and Vodafone.
The tariffs include 2p per second for local and national calls, Re 1 per SMS (local and national), Re 5 per international SMS, and 5p per second for video calls. But the real star is Jio’s data plan, wherein users are charged 0.5p per 10KB. To put that into perspective, Airtel and Vodafone both charge users 4p per 10KB.
The rates mentioned are however just standard plans, and Jio will surely announce specific tariff plans just like other carriers. One of the rumored plans is free local and STD calls to users when they buy data packs. This is said to be among the highlight plans that will be rolled out on the day of Reliance Jio launch.
