Jio effect: Reliance Communications announces new plan at Rs 299

Joining the likes of Vodafone, Airtel and BSNL, Reliance Communications has now jumped onto the bandwagon to put forth attractive offers and combat Reliance Jio. RCom has announced new Rs 299 rental plan.

What comes via RCom's official twitter handle doesn't reveal much about the plan, but we do know that users will get unlimited data, voice calls and texts.

The tweet reads that it is the lowest monthly rental, but there is no word on the validity or per day data limit. Besides, it also has the Rozana plan that will get you 1GB data per day and 30 minutes unlimited calling per day at Rs 193.

One of the key changes were brought to the Rs 399 plan that was updated to offer 84 days of validity over the 28 days it offered earlier with 1GB/day cap. The data has also been increased to 84GB. This means, users now get 84GB data for 84 days with a 1GB cap per day and free voice calls.
