With only four days to go for customers to enrol into Reliance Jio’s ‘Prime’ the company has pulled out all the stops and launched additional bumper proposals to push for this offer.

The Prime membership of RJio was launched for the continuation of the new entrant’s ‘Happy New Year’ offer with a one-time payment of Rs 99.

While launching the offer, MD of Reliance Industries said, “Unlimited maza continued hoynga.”

Prime membership also would give its subscribers more than a third of data value than other Jio customers, as per an earlier article by Zeebiz.
