NEW DELHI: With 'Summer Surprise' offer termed 'void', Reliance Jio seems set to woo users with new offers. The company has announced on its website that it will soon be announcing new tariff packs with more exciting offers. "We are updating our tariff packs and will be soon introducing more exciting offers," reads the banner on the company's website.
A company's spokesperson also confirmed to ET telecom the same. However, he didn't divulge any details.
In a surprise move last week, Telecom Regulatory Authourity of India (TRAI) had asked Reliance Jio to withdraw its Jio 'Summer Surprise' offer. Trai said that the offer did not fit into the "regulatory framework," prompting it to order the company to stop the plan.
The 'Summer Surprise' offer gave three more months of complimentary benefits to all Jio Prime members who made their first recharge of Rs 303 (or more) by April 15. The complimentary services include three more months of free voice and data services, besides access to other Jio apps.
On its part, Reliance Jio had said that it is "in the process of fully complying with the regulator's advice", and will be withdrawing the new offer "as soon as operationally feasible, over the next few days." Incidentally, the offer is still running on the company's website.
The company also said that all those who enroll for the offer before it is withdrawn will be eligible for the 'Summer Surprise' offer. This means that nothing changes for those users who have already signed up for Jio Prime membership and paid for the telco's Rs 303 or other plans of higher value (for the first month).
In February this year, RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani had announced Jio Prime membership subscription for a one-time fee of Rs 99. The Prime membership, available for one year, gives customers the option to choose from multiple data packs starting at Rs 149.
