Reliance Jio has introduced a special short prepaid plan for Amarnath Yatra pilgrims to stay connected to their loved ones during the journey that starts in India and ends in China.
Under the plan, the user is given 500 MB data daily for Rs 102. The validity of the plan is seven days. After breaching the 500 MB data limit in a day, the speeds go down to 64 Kbps. Apart from this, the subscribers get free local and STD calls, and 100 messages per day, reports India Today.
However, the plan doesn't include a Jio Prime subscription. Therefore, subscribers won't get access to JioCinema, JioTV and other Jio services.
Since in Jammu and Kashmir, roaming services on prepaid numbers from the rest of the country aren’t allowed, visitors to the Amarnath caves have to get a new connection in the state itself . Often they have to take up expensive recharge plans with long validity in order to stay connected. In order to address such customers, Jio has launched this plan.
