On the evening of 31st March, when Jio Happy New Year Offer was ending, Reliance Jio played their masterstroke in converting all their users to Jio Prime, by announcing the Jio Summer Surprise Offer. And, in case you were wondering, this is NOT AN APRIL FOOL, confirmed.

Little did other telecom operators imagine about this sudden strategic move by Jio. This will severely affect other telecom operators, including Vodafone and Airtel who were busy promoting their latest tariffs, competitive with Jio.

Not only them, the telcos having relatively lower market shares like Aircel, Docomo, Telenor, etc., they will also be affected badly due to this.

But it all comes to customer satisfaction ultimately. So, if you are a Jio user yourself, then you should not worry about all these and can cherish yourself as the Jio Summer Surprise Offer is made for you.

On the evening of 31st March, at around 9 pm, with just 3 hours left to end the day, Jio called a press conference and declared their plans.

Here are the details of the offer in brief:

You will still get 1GB Data per day, Unlimited Calls, and SMS. But you won’t be getting the Night time High-Speed Internet between 2 am to 5 am now.

Considering its completely free, I don’t see anything bad in that.

Frequently Asked Questions:

As usual, you guys have different queries regarding Jio, and I am always ready to answer them. Here are the most commonly asked questions about the offer. I am sure you might be having similar queries, in that case, your doubt will be clarified. Check them below.

Q: What happens after 15th April if I don’t do any recharges now?

A: You won’t be able to make calls or SMS or use the internet. However, you will receive SMS.

If you have a VoLTE supported device, you will receive calls. If you don’t have a VoLTE supported device, you won’t receive calls also, as calling requires active internet connection on non-VoLTE devices.

After 90 days of not subscribing to any Jio Plan, your sim will be disconnected, and you cannot use it anymore.

Q: I had recharged with the Rs149 plan. What happens now? Can I get the Complimentary Offer?

A: The Jio Summer Surprise offer is only for those who subscribed to Jio Prime and then recharged with RS303 or above. If you have recharged with Rs149 then, unfortunately, you won’t be getting any such benefits.

To get the benefits, you need to recharge with Rs99 for Jio Prime, or if you have already done it, you just need to recharge with Rs303 to get the same privileges.

Don’t worry; your initial Rs149 won’t get wasted. They will be queued and will be adjusted after 16th July. So, from 16th July to 15th August, you will get the benefits of the Rs149 offer, and from 16th August to 15th September, you will get the advantages of the Rs303 offer which you recharged afterward.

So, your money isn’t wasted, and it’s a win-win deal.

Q: I have recharged with Rs303, but I wish to upgrade to Rs499 recharge so that I get 2GB Data per day. Is that possible?

A: Quite surprisingly, yes it’s possible. You just need to recharge your Jio number to the denomination you want to, and it will be upgraded.

During the summer surprise offer, you will be getting the benefits of the highest value recharge you did. So, if you did a Rs303 and a Rs499 recharge, you are going to get the benefits of Rs499 recharge over the summer surprise offer period.

After the summer surprise offer period gets over, your recharges will be adjusted every month starting from 15th July in chronological order.

Last Words:

So that’s all about the Jio Summer Surprise Offer. Thanks for reading the in-depth article. I hope all your doubts regarding the offer is clear now.

In my opinion, this is the best offer an internet user can avail right now.

Yes, I hear that Jio is not giving good network speeds in some areas. Well, let me confirm you that Jio will double the number of towers it has right now, and the speeds are bound to increase.

Also, many people took multiple sim cards to get more internet data; they won’t be subscribing all their sim to this offer by paying Rs402 (99+303) each sim. So, the overall internet usage will be lesser on their network, making them more accessible to you.

You can test the network speeds using Speedtest by Ookla. They also have an Android app on Google Play.

Don’t forget to share this article with your friends and let them know about this incredible opportunity.

If you have any doubts, comment below. And I will be back soon with another exciting update. 🙂
