Honestly, Jio is exceeding my expectations every time. These are incredible plans if real. The 499 plan with 2GB per day is just super awesome. I had planned to get 4 SIMs including my dads (1 original LYF phone SIM from beta period + 1 JioFI + 1 new
Honor 6x SIM + 1 Dad's Jio SIM) on the 303 plan. But I can now just use 2 SIMs with 499 plan and save some money too. Probably I will get all SIMs on Jio Prime just for flexibility in the future. For dad's SIM, I would probably go for the basic 149 plan as that should be enough.
2GB x2 = 4GB x 30 = 120 GB is honestly as good as proper broadband (BSNL which is the only option here in Guwahati used to give 20GB FUP in 1000+ plans a few years ago). I am definitely impressed by Jio and Ambani and this is like a revolution in India in internet. I have always wished for this day for the last 10 years. BSNL had complete monopoly with zero customer support or service and terrible plans (BSNL plans have become ok only after Jio entry... otherwise it was the same plans for nearly the last 10 years) in non-metro Tier 1 cities such as Guwahati as no national broadband ISP used to come here. This is definitely a gush of fresh air in the internet sector in India. Honestly, I would probably not even use 2GB or maybe not even 1GB at times but at least I will get the flexibility of using it if needed.
Just for a question, if I do not want to recharge any of the SIMs (all would get the initial Prime recharge of Rs.99) in any particular month, will the SIM still remain active and will Jio Prime remain active? For example, in other networks we, can just recharge with Rs.10 is we just need to extend the validity if we are not planning to make calls in that month. Is there a similar option in Jio too just for extending the validity and keeping the SIM active in case I do not need to use data or voice in any particular month for one of the SIMs?
