Jio and Airtel have stopped offering their low-cost 1GB daily plans.
Reliance Jio and Airtel have given a big shock to their users. These companies have discontinued their 1GB daily data plan. Now it is not available to customers, and as a result, they will have to recharge expensively, due to which the tariff will increase. In such a situation, if you are a Jio and Airtel user, then you will now have to look for some other budget-friendly recharge plan. Now in Reliance Jio, the daily data plan with 28 days validity will start from ₹ 299, in which 5 GB of daily data is available. At the same time, now Airtel users will have to spend Rs 299 for the cheapest recharge. However, with this pack, Airtel users will also get many additional benefits, such as a spam alert service, a subscription to the Airtel Xstream app, and a 30-day free subscription to Hellotunes. In July last year, when telecom companies made their recharge plans expensive, there was a lot of uproar. The news of the increased price of the recharge plan remained in the headlines for many days. After that, this move of the company will again affect the low-income users, who were earlier taking advantage of data and calling from low-cost plans. When will it be discontinued? Airtel has issued a notice on its Airtel Thanks app stating that the popular prepaid plan 249 will be discontinued after 12 midnight on 20 August 2025. From August 20, 2025, midnight, the ₹249 recharge plan will no longer be available. Similarly, the plan with 1GB per day data has also been removed on the official website of Reliance Jio. This plan was very popular among the users, but now this option is not available. What options do users have now? Reliance Jio’s users are angry with this move. On social media, Jio users said that Jio is gradually eliminating its cheap plans; this change is causing trouble for the common people. A user wrote in his response that the Rs 249 plan was perfect for him, but now he will have to spend less validity for Rs 239 or more for Rs 299. Jio should bring back its cheap plans. “Not only this, but some users also say that they will now port the number to BSNL, which is offering cheap plans. Apart from this, there is also an option, Vi, whose network is slightly better than BSNL. Most people in the country use two mobile SIMs. In such a situation, if users want to reduce the burden of expensive recharge, then they can also manage with the use of one SIM.
