HIGHLIGHTS
- Reliance Jio is offering free data to some customers.
- We observed that a free data voucher was credited on a couple of our Jio connections.
- It seems like the offer is not available for all since the voucher is available only for select users.
Reliance Jio has always been good at surprising its users, and rivals, by introducing freebies and offers out of the blue. The telco is now doing something similar by quietly offering free additional data to some consumers. We noticed that two of our team members who have a Jio connection were offered a free additional data voucher on August 15 and one of them also received a data voucher on August 16. However, we checked to find that some other people who had a Jio connection didn’t get the free data voucher. You can check whether your Jio connection has received a free data voucher from the MyJio app.
To check if your account has been credited with a free data voucher, boot up the MyJio app. Press on the My Vouchers section on the bottom, where the free data voucher should be present. As mentioned earlier, the Reliance Jio free data voucher doesn’t seem to be present for everyone. To redeem the voucher, you need to tap on the Redeem section and select the voucher and tap on proceed now. Once the voucher is redeemed, one can head over to the My Plan section in the MyJio app to see that the additional free data is available over the currently available regular data plan.
Jio offering free data to its users is nothing out of the ordinary. The telco recently made a bunch of announcements at its 42nd AGM regarding JioFiber, it’s upcoming set-top box, and more. The company also announced a new Jio PostPaid Plus plan priority service, which addsas additional services for JioFiber users. Under the service, one will have a priority SIM-setup service so that users can switch to the Jio network from home. There are also Family plans that will enable one data plan, and data sharing with family members. You can read more about it here.
