Jio introduces new value packs without internet

According to a report by ABP Asmita, significant changes have been made by Reliance Jio to its value packs, introducing new voice-only plans without internet. Many people have Wi-Fi installed at their homes for their internet needs, or many people are elderly and use phones only for talking. Apart from this, there are also many people who do not want data packs on their phones. Until now, all these individuals were forced to recharge with expensive plans offering free calling and data. Keeping this situation in mind, Jio has started these schemes.

This step has been taken by Jio following the directive of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, meaning TRAI. TRAI had earlier directed that rural residents, the elderly, and customers who only make calls should not be burdened with data. In this regard, a proposal to introduce voice-SMS packs with various validities was put forward in the draft of April 2026. These new Jio packs provide validity ranging from 22 days to a full 336 days.

These new value packs released by Jio start from ₹97 and are available as monthly validity plans up to ₹196. Apart from this, plans of ₹448 and ₹1,748 have also been introduced for the long term. All these new plans are currently made available to customers on the MyJio app and its official website.

Talking in detail, the ₹147 plan offers 22 days of validity, unlimited calling, and 300 SMS, which costs around ₹6.68 per day. After this, the ₹177 pack gives a break of 28 days and its daily cost comes to ₹6.32. In this same category, the ₹196 plan provides 30 days of validity whose average cost is ₹6.53 per day. Apart from this, the recharge of ₹97 comes with a calendar month's validity. These four initial plans offer the facility of unlimited calling and 300 SMS.

Talking about the long-term plans, Jio has introduced two major plans of ₹448 and ₹1,748. Out of these, the ₹448 plan offers unlimited voice calling and 1,000 SMS for 84 days, and its daily cost is only ₹5.33. Whereas the larger plan of ₹1,748 provides unlimited calling and 3,600 SMS with a full validity of 336 days, and its daily cost comes to only ₹5.20. The special thing is that additional benefits like Jio TV and Jio AI Cloud have also been included in these two major plans of ₹448 and ₹1,748.

For the convenience of customers, Jio has also given the option of a data add-on pack, so that if ever an unexpected need for internet arises in the future, the customer can get a small data voucher recharged.
