Reliance Jio Prime membership has been extended for one year for free by the company. Here’s how to claim for free in the MyJio app.
Reliance Jio Prime membership, which costs Rs 99 per year has been extended by the company for free for one year. Jio Prime membership gives Jio customers access to the company’s suite of apps like JioTV, JioCinema, JioMusic, JioMagazine, etc. The company has now extended this scheme for another year, which will come as good news to customers. However, those who plan to get a new Jio SIM card or number, will still have to pay Rs 99 for the Jio Prime membership.
Jio Prime was announced last year by the company along with new recharges and plans. The membership was due to expire on March 31, 2018, even for those who had got the Reliance Jio SIM later on. So how can a user renew their Jio Prime membership for free? Here are the steps to follow.
