This price is far lower than many of the current 2G feature phones in the market. As such, the final barrier that has prevented feature phone users from upgrading to 4G services is now eliminated.
Reliance has labelled this offer as its investment and commitment towards bringing the weaker sections of Indian society into the internet economy.
The company will further give data benefit valued at Rs 700 for JioPhone customers who join Jio through this offer. For the first seven recharges that the customer does, Jio will additionally add Rs 99 worth of data.
