Jio offers Rs 15 data pack with unlimited 5G for 24 hours, cheaper than Airtel and Vi

Reliance Jio has made available a special data pack priced at just Rs 15. The pack is claimed to offer unlimited 5G internet for 24 hours. For customers who need to download large files, install mobile games or find their data use suddenly rising, there will be no need for an expensive recharge.

The pack may also be useful for customers on calling-only plans that carry no separate data. The option is drawing attention from customers who want more data at a low cost.

The pack is valid for 24 hours, during which unlimited 5G internet can be used. It can be useful for downloading large games, updating mobile software or saving important files to the cloud. Customers who have taken a calling-only recharge and get no daily data can buy the Rs 15 pack when needed. Those who want extra internet for a day can take this pack instead of a separate, larger recharge.

Another notable feature of the pack is the facility to share internet through a hotspot. Customers can switch on their smartphone's hotspot and use the internet on a laptop, tablet or other devices. It can come in handy while travelling or away from home where there is no Wi-Fi. Customers who work from home can also use it to download large files, work on video projects and upload important documents to the cloud.

Compared with other companies, the packs of Airtel and Vodafone Idea, or Vi, are costlier, according to the information provided. Airtel's cheapest data pack costs Rs 22 and gives 1GB of data with one day's validity. Another Airtel pack costs Rs 49 and gives unlimited data for one day.

Vi's basic data booster pack also costs Rs 22 and likewise gives 1GB of data with one day's validity. Vi also has a Rs 49 unlimited data pack, with which unlimited data can be used for one day.

Jio's Rs 15 pack is available at a lower price than those of Airtel and Vi, so it may be the more economical option. Customers who need a great deal of internet for a single day could benefit in particular. However, before buying the pack, customers must check their number's eligibility, the availability of the 5G network and the terms of the plan. The network required and the eligible recharge conditions for unlimited 5G data may apply. Customers should therefore check the details given in the MyJio app before recharging.
