To comply with the guidelines of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI), telecom unit of Reliance, Jio had recently launched two new voice-only prepaid plans, specially designed for users who primarily rely on calling and SMS services. Afterward, the company reduced the price of these plans to be in the competition in the telecom market.
‘TelecomTalk’ earlier reported that Jio is not allowing add-on data vouchers on the recharge of the voice and SMS-only plans. The company has confirmed this development on social media platform ‘X’.
“Please note that Data Boosters or Data Add-On packs (69/139) cannot be recharged if you only have a Voice and SMS plan active on your account,” JioCare said on X in response to a query from a user.
