a big news is coming Today
Jio extend its Welcome offer from DEC 31st To March 31 and renamed it with
Jio Happy new year Offer
Existing and new Reliance Jio users will be able to use data, voice, video and all of Jio's applications for free until March 31, 2017.
Reliance
chairman Mukesh Ambani on Thursday said that Jio is launching a new
offer for consumers. The offer called Happy New Year offer will give all
Jio users free "unlimited" data, voice calls and messages to all Jio
users until March 1.
The offer will be extended to all consumers who decide to get a new Jio SIM from December 4. The Jio users who are part of the existing offer -- called Welcome Offer -- will also continue to get the free services until December 31, although the offer will end on December 3, to meet the guidelines issued by TRAI. However, after December 31, the users who are part of the Welcome Offer will be moved to the Happy New Year Offer.
Sum of the matter is that all Jio users, whether the new ones or the existing ones, will get the Jio services free until March 31.
Ambani also announced that Jio now has over 52 million users. His comments come two days before TRAI mandated deadline deadline to end the Jio Welcome offer ends. Ambani also said that since the launch of public trial, competitors have tried to sabotage the Jio services with the company facing problems with interconnectivity in calls.
"Thank
you for trying Jio, thank you for improving the Jio and thank you for
loving Jio," said Ambani even as he highlighted the challenges Jio has
faced in the last few months. Ambani acknowledged that users
have faced problems with the Jio calls and data, although he said that
the company is fixing all the issues with the service.

Ambani also said that since the launch of public trial, competitors have tried to sabotage the Jio services with the company facing problems with interconnectivity in calls.
But for now Jio
is also tweaking its free offer for consumers. Unlike the Welcome Offer
that allows a user to consumers 4GB data -- actually 2GB as reported by
users -- the Happy New Year offer will give users 1GB data per day. This
is lower than the earlier limit but Jio said that it is still 30 times
more than what competitors offer. And it is free.
Ambani
said that in the last few months, the company has worked to figure out
the usage pattern of Jio users and that the services will be now better.
"Over 92 per cent consumers get top class speed and performance," said
Ambani. "But 8 per cent experience the congestion. We are now working to
fix these problems. Jio will live up to the expectations of every
single customer."Ambani
also highlighted that fixing the 1GB limit will improve the services.
He said, "20 per cent users use disproportionate amount of data, which
creates problems for all users. Fair use policy will ensure that
everyone gets the fair share of the network."
