Stick with Jio or move out?

I just realized that every month I’m recharging for Jio 149, therefore 1800 per year but I’m not utilising more than 95% of what offered. Like in whole a month, total outgoing call duration for me remains at 3 to 4 hours tops. And out of 24 GB offered data per month, I use maybe 1 GB (much less in reality).

So should I stick with Jio still or try to find cheaper alternative? I would have ported to something like Voda right now but their outgoing call rates are hilarious. Like if you call someone for even 5 mins 10 rupees is deducted! Lmao.

Please advise.

RC with 329 plan for 84 days (comes with 6GB/3months).
Recharge data plan of 11 or some thing, if you need more data.

I prefer 329 pack i.e 109/month as to get limited data and free calls… There’s a disadvantage though that you might not be able to recharge it on other platforms and utilize monthly offers…

I preferred 329 (410) plans for my parents till date but now I’ll not get 47 gb instead I’ve to make peace with 6 gb for 329, so now I’m afraid it’s very less effective compare to 2020

Is BSNL not an option there ? Its validity recharge provides 2 or 3GB data as well as 100 minutes call to any network. Seeing your usage it should be good enough.

Or if you have to stick with Jio use 329 plan as suggested above.

with 149 plan your yearly expenses are 2266
with 1299 plan 24GB yearly data ( get rs 50/100 CB by doing RC from payzaap )
you can save 42% on existing RC as 1299 have a validity of 336
other operators rs 1499 RC with 365 validity and 24 GB yearly data
BTW with jio there no charges for calling to 1860/1800 series number and no charges for shortcode SMS
you can watch jio TV via wifi but airtel/vi/bsnl allow tv on mobile data only

Tried Rs. 329 jio plan on my two jio numbers, failed both time. It was successful for two of my friends.

The only difference was that my jio numbers are ported-in & my friends numbers are jio from the beginning. Could this be the reason?

Don’t think so. My number is also ported in from Voda and i was able to successfully recharge with 329 from PZ. I tried with 129 before trying 329, that one failed though. Not sure what’s the main factor between success and failure of the 329 recharge only PZ could say i suppose! Or it just maybe random.
