Reliance Jio to Give JioPhone Users 100 Minutes of Calls and 100 SMS for Free Due to Coronavirus Lockdown

Reliance Jio has announced that JioPhone users would get 100 minutes of calls and 100 SMSes for free until 17 April 2020 keeping in view the Coronavirus situation in India. Jio says that although it has a substantially high percentage of users that recharge online for themselves, as well as for their friends, family and near-and-dear ones, JioPhone users were unable to recharge when they needed it the most.

“For those who recharge through the physical retail stores, and have faced issues due to the current lockdown, Jio has provided alternative channels to recharge, such as UPI, ATM, SMS, Call, etc. But Jio recognizes, that despite the above initiatives, some JioPhone users are still unable to recharge and need it the most, especially during such important times,” said a statement from Reliance Jio.
