HIGHLIGHTS
1.Consumers can recharge Jio prepaid numbers on Paytm now.
2.MobiKwik and RechargeItNow also allow users to recharge Jio numbers.
3.Jio is yet to be added to list of operators for postpaid bill payment.
With free Reliance Jio services set to
end on March 31, Paytm has added Reliance Jio in its list of telecom
operators for prepaid recharges. The announcement was made on social
media by India’s biggest digital payments company on Twitter.
On the other hand, the option to pay Jio
postpaid bills is yet to be added on Paytm. While there is no official
word on it yet, the Jio pospaid bill payment option may be added once
the Jio billing cycles come to a completion towards May.
Other third-party recharge websites such
as MobiKwik and RechargeItNow also have Jio in their list of telecom
operators for prepaid recharges. On the other hand, FreeCharge, another
leading name in this domain, is yet to add Jio to its list.
Jio users will need to start paying for
services starting April 1, once the Jio Happy New Year Offer comes to an
end. While the voice calls and roaming services will remain free
indefinitely, services such as 4G and the bundled apps will become
chargeable.
To soften this blow, the company has
launched the Jio Prime subscription plan that provides the option to
avail extra data per month at the same prices as the prepaid recharges,
along with bundled apps worth Rs. 10,000.
