Jio 5G data pack launched at Rs.61! All you need to know

Reliance Jio has launched its first-ever 5G data pack by the name of “5G Upgrade” in its prepaid recharge plans. The price of the newly launched Jio 5G plan starts at just ₹ 61. On recharging the same, users can get 6 GB of data at high speed and post which the speed is reduced to 64 Kbps. Jio 5G service went live on October 2022 last year. Since then the 5G service has been made available in over 70 cities in the country.

One major issue that many users were facing was being unable to use the Jio 5G service despite having a Jio 5G-supported phone and a city where the service was present. Many users who were using their base tariff plan of less than ₹ 239 were unable to use the Jio 5G service.

However now with the launch of the new Jio 5G tariff plan, users can avail extra 6 GB 5G data on their existing base tariff plan. The 5G data pack hence would have the same validity as your base plan. Below are the complete details of the Jio 5G data plan, price, benefits, and how to recharge the same.

• Data Pack name: 5G Upgrade

• Total Data: 6 GB

• Data speed post limit: 64 Kbps unlimited data

• Pack validity: Active base plan

• OTT benefits: None

• Applicable on base plans: Rs.119, Rs.149, Rs.179, Rs.199 & Rs.209

Note: Users can only use the Jio 5G data pack in cities where the Jio True 5G service is launched and the user has been invited to Jio Welcome Offer.
