Jio Prime Free for next 12 Months for All Existing Users
Jio Prime subscription will be
provided for another year on complimentary basis to the customers who have
already paid the Rs. 99 membership fee before March 31, 2018. This essentially
means any Jio user who has
paid for Prime does not have to buy it again, and will receive the benefits
associated with it free of cost. However, those who join the Jio network and
opt for Prime after April 1 will have to pay Rs. 99 as the membership cost. As
before, the Prime benefits will be provided to customers for a period of 12
months, i.e. March 2019. However, existing users will have to go through an
opt-in process to avail the free service for another year.

The ongoing Jio Prime subscription ends for all customers
tomorrow, March 31, regardless of whether they purchased it in March or August
or January. All existing Prime users are eligible to avail the complimentary
membership for 12 months. Users will find the option to avail the service for
another year in the MyJio app. And as mentioned previously, new users will have
to pay the Rs. 99 price.
Jio said in a statement, “The continued availability of the Jio
Prime membership to new subscribers reiterates Jio’s commitment to deliver a
differentiated Digital Life experience to Indians, and will propel this into
the world’s largest loyalty programme.”
Notably, the company in the statement revealed it now has 175
million users across the country, up from 160 million in December 2017. It also claimed it will provide "20-50
percent more value to Jio Prime users, always."
The Prime subscription was announced in February last year as the company went from a free service
and adopted the paid model. Priced at Rs. 99 for the whole year, the
subscription comes to an end tomorrow, March 31. Prime users were to be given
additional data at the same prices compared to non-Prime members. While it was
an opt-in service initially, the Prime membership fee was later automatically
added to the recharge cost when a user tried to purchase a pack, thus making it
effectively mandatory.
