Jio Offering Free 2GB Daily High-Speed Data Benefit to Select Users: Report

Jio is offering free additional data to select users in India once again. This free data credit of 2GB per day high speed data comes with a validity of 5 days. Jio may be offering this little surprise to ease the woes of customers during the coronavirus lockdown. The company did roll out a similar offer in April as well wherein 2GB daily free data was offered with a validity of four days to select consumers. Jio recently also updated its “Work From Home” add-on packs with 30 days validity. Earlier, the add-on packs were valid as long as the existing base prepaid plan. However, the operator decided to revise them to add validity irrespective of the base plan.

A few users have posted on the OnlyTech forums that their Jio accounts have been credited with the 2GB daily data add-on pack for free. The two users who have posted on the forums have received 2GB of high speed data per day with a validity of 5 days. This enables users to indulge in 10GB of total additional data for free for five days. There is no pattern that Jio is following for this free data credit, and a few users at random are receiving it.
