Jio Summer Surprise

Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio, the newest telecom company, today announced it has notched an unprecedented 72 million paid subscribers, and extended by 15 days its rock-bottom priced data offer under Prime membership. The company, whose free extended promotional offer came to an end today, also announced a complimentary offer for three months for those who paid Rs 303 prior to April 15.

"Every JIO PRIME member - when they make their first paid recharge prior to 15th April using Jio's Rs 303 plan (or any higher value plan) - will get services for the INITIAL 3 MONTHS on a complimentary basis. Your paid tariff plan will be applied only in July, after the expiry of the complimentary service," wrote Ambani. "Customers who could not enrol for JIO PRIME by 31st March for whatever reason can still do so by paying Rs 99 along with their first purchase of Jio's Rs 303 and other plans till 15th April."

As for the Jio users who don't want to do a Jio SIM recharge, the free services are going to continue for two more weeks. So, enjoy that some more, if you are enjoying the Jio services until now.

Jio Summer Surprise 

While thanking customers who have purchased the Prime membership, Ambani termed the new offer as Jio Summer Surprise. "The Jio Summer Surprise is the first of many surprises for JIO PRIME members," he said.

Ambani also said that over 72 million people had subscribed to Reliance Jio in a record period. 

"In just one month over 72 million Jio customers have signed up for Jio Prime membership," Ambani said.

"Over the past few days, we have been deluged by millions of customers queuing up to purchase Jio's popular Rs 303 and other tariff plans. This nationwide trend indicates that very many customers are still in the process of purchasing JIO PRIME and their first paid tariff plan. I am committed to 'WALKING THE EXTRA MILE' for my Jio Family members," Mukesh Ambani said in statement.

On Network Congestion

Ambani also made a reference of the network issues and promised an improvement in service quality in the days ahead. 

"We are acutely aware that we have small pockets of congestion on our network. With our investment in network expansion, you will see a dramatic improvement in service quality in the coming weeks," Ambani said.
