Jio Offers Free Disney+ Hotstar VIP Subscription to Its Prepaid Subscribers

Reliance Jio has announced its Disney+ Hotstar offer just days after teasing it on social media and MyJio app. The telecom operating is giving one-year subscription of Disney+ Hotstar VIP to all prepaid users who recharge their account with Rs. 401 plan, Rs. 2,599 plan, Rs. 612 data voucher, or Rs. 1208 data voucher. Notably, the Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription on its own cost Rs. 399 right now, so essentially, you are getting it for free on any of these plans as the free subscription is offered over the usual plan specific benefits.

Jio detailed the offer on social media earlier today. The telecom operator was teasing the launch of Disney+ Hotstar offer for days and it has generated a lot of interest among its subscribers. It isn't, however, the first telecom operator to bring such an offer as in April, Airtel had introduced an erringly similar offer that bundled free one-year of Disney+ Hotstar VIP on Rs. 401 recharge plan. Jio's offer comes as a counter to Airtel.

How to get free Disney+ Hotstar VIP on Jio

1. The process is very simple, you need to recharge your Jio account with one of the offer-specific recharge plans.
2. The Hotstar plans include Rs. 401 monthly recharge plan and Rs. 2,599 yearly recharge plan.
3. Additionally, the Disney+ Hotstar offer is also available with Rs. 612 and Rs. 1208 data vouchers that just add 4G data to your account.
4. Pick one of the aforementioned options and recharge your Jio account Once you have completed the recharge process, you will be able to activate the free one-year subscription of Disney+ Hotstar VIP.
5. It is important to note here that to continue using Disney+ Hotstar VIP, you will need to keep your Jio account active with a base recharge plan.
6. The offer, as mentioned, is only valid for prepaid users and it is unclear for how long it will remain available.

Keep in mind, Jio is giving free VIP subscription of Disney+ Hotstar, not the Premium subscription. Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription includes local-language dubs of Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Disney movies as well as Hotstar Specials, kids content, live spots, and more.
