Reliance Jio Prime Subscribers Cross 50 Million, Extension Expected
With just a handful of days remaining for the users to enroll for Jio Prime membership, we have been seeing a lot of speculation surrounding Jio’s Prime membership response. However, in order to get some clarification on this, we got in touch with our internal sources and we now have a confirmation stating that Jio has crossed over 50 million Prime membership mark as of today.
Jio said that the response for Prime Membership has been tremendous and they are expecting another 10-15 million prime users by the end of this month. Taking the current numbers into consideration, about 40-percent of Jio users have opted in for Prime and this definitely puts an end to all the false numbers that are circulating around the media. According to them, the cashback offers, etc. have helped them a lot with increasing these numbers. And as far as the prime membership enrollment extension is concerned, we don’t have any official word on that but it is expected that it will be extended by a month. Stay tuned to TECHNO GADGETES for more info on this.
Earlier – Reliance’s Jio will be ending its year-long free services on March 31st, 2017. However, the users can continue the same benefits of the free Jio offer with unlimited 4G internet (FUP @ 1GB/day), voice calls, and SMS till March 31st, 2018 by paying Rs. 303 per month. To get this unlimited plan for Rs. 303, the current Jio SIM users need to become the Jio Prime Member by paying a one-time fee of Rs. 99. While Reliance initially announced March 31st, 2017 as the last date to get the Jio Prime Membership, now leaks suggest the company to extend the deadline until the end of next month.
This is due to the poor response from the current Jio users who are enjoying the free services. Since not many of the users have paid Rs. 99 to get the Jio Prime Membership, a few days back, it came with few new offers that further subsidies the one-time fee. While there are no official numbers for the userbase of Jio Prime Membership base, the reports suggest only 22-27 million users turned up to get the Jio Prime Membership. The report also mentions that Jio has reached only 50% of their target. As there is only one week left until the official deadline, it’s highly impossible for Jio to reach its target.
