Reliance Jio decided to discontinue two of its cheapest Jio Phone prepaid recharge packs of ₹39 and ₹69. These plans were removed from Jio’s official website in a quiet manner. The company also decided to take down the ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ recharge offer out of the many offers. The move comes a day ahead of the launch of Jio Phone Next on September 10, 2021.

Rs 39, Rs 69 Recharge Plans
Reliance offers a ₹39 plan for Jio Phone which gives 100MB of daily data and a validity of 14 days. The plan also offers unlimited calls to any network and 100 SMS. Customers also get access to complimentary Jio apps. Similarly, the ₹69 plan offers 0.5GB of data per day, unlimited calls, 100 SMS per day, access to the Jio suite of apps, and 14 days of validity.
Both ₹39 and ₹69 recharge plans are now discontinued. There isn’t any clarity as to whether this was planned keeping in mind the launch of Jio Phone Next or due to the low popularity of the plan. It isn’t clear if the telecom network will introduce new plans to replace them.
Recently Jio introduced four new plans that come with a Disney+ Hotstar subscription. These include ₹499, ₹699, ₹888 and ₹ 2,599. The latter offers a validity of 365 days, 2GB of data per day, 100 SMS per day, and unlimited calling to any network.
