10GB free data

It appears Reliance Jio is not done giving away freebies yet and the company is now doling out more data to its users. Reliance Jio has reportedly added 10GB add-on data to select 4G users in India. Earlier, it was believed that the new add-on pack is due to the occasion of Holi. However, Jio is giving away 10GB additional data as a token of appreciation to its users for using the JioTV app. The JioTV app is said to be declared as the “Best Mobile Video Content” at the Global Mobile Awards 2018 at MWC in Barcelona. According to Telecomtalk, the 10GB additional data pack will expire on 27 March 2018. Sadly, the new data add-on pack is completely an automated one which means some users may receive the additional data and others may not. Users can check the data add-ons via MyJio app on their smartphone.

While Jio is known for its ultra-low cost data plans and free calls, its bundled content apps such are quite popular among users as well. The Jio TV app, in particular, has been a hit across the country as it provides them access to live TV channels without any extra subscription costs. However, streaming live videos on the app can quickly exhaust the daily data allocation of the plan, especially if a user has purchased one of the more affordable plans in the operator’s portfolio. Now, Jio is providing customers additional 10GB data that is earmarked just to stream content on its live TV app. Jio users can check whether they have received the free 10GB data on their number in the MyJio app. They simply need to go to the My Plans section in the app, and the add-on data will appear below the plan details, if it has indeed been allocated. Along with the allocated data, the app will also show the expiry date and the amount consumed.
