Reliance Jio launched its 4G services back in September 2016. It became an instant hit due to its affordable tariff plans that were offered for free for a period of six months. Launched at a time when data costs were high (almost Rs. 250 for 1GB data), it is not surprising that the affordable bundled benefits offered by Jio witnessed success.

As per a report, the company has overtaken Bharti Airtel in terms of subscriber base. The report also reveals that at present Jio has 306 million users while Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel has only 284 million subscribers. However, Vodafone Idea continues to lead the industry with 387 million users. Eventually, it is the second largest telecom operator in the country now.

Gradually, Reliance Jio gave a tough competition to the other telecom operators in the country. And, they had to struggle hard to retain their subscribers. Eventually, all telcos came up with numerous bundled tariff plans to compete against Jio. But this had to be done at the expense of losing the average revenue per user.

Minimum recharge packs

Airtel and Vodafone came up with minimum recharge plans and users have to recharge their mobile number once in 28 days to enjoy continuous services. These minimum prepaid recharge plans are priced under Rs. 100. This was an attempt to increase the average revenue generated per user.

Here, you will get to know more about Reliance Jio, its competition, USSD codes and more.
