Reliance Jio Prime Membership expires today: 3 important points that can change your mind

New Delhi: If you have not opted for the Reliance Jio Prime Membership, you could do it by Friday.

Enrollment for Prime membership started from March 1 and continue till March 31 (today).

But if customers don't join Prime membership, they still will continue to have all voice calls free and without any roaming charges.

If you haven't opted for Prime Membership as yet, here are three points that can help you decide or change your mind.

What happens to non Jio Prime members?

Reliance Jio will continue to offer free voice calls, SMSes and national roaming post April 1, when its promotional free voice and data offer ends. So if you have not opted for Prime Membership, there is no need to worry about free calls and roaming charges.

What happens to data-hungry users?

Well, here's one thing that it might hurt data lovers. With the same recharge of Rs 303, Jio Prime and non-Prime users can enjoy equal benefit except for data usage. While at Rs 303 recharge Jio Prime member can enjoy unlimited data, the non-Prime member can enjoy only 2.5 GB data. Moreover the speed of data also changes for Prime and non Prime members.
