Recharge Now Pay Later: Reliance Jio launches ’emergency data loan’ facility for prepaid customers
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio has launched an ’emergency data loan’ facility that provides its phone users with instant data on loans, which they can pay off later.
Sources said that India’s youngest but largest telecom operator Jio understands that not every user is in a position to buy data top up immediately due to various reasons.
The emergency data loan facility provides the facility of “Recharge Now and Pay Later” facility to Jio users who run out of their high speed daily data quota and are unable to recharge immediately.
Under this, Jio will allow its prepaid users to borrow up to 5 emergency data loan packs (worth Rs 11 per pack) of 1 GB each, he said.
Emergency data loan can be availed through MyJio app.
Sources said the emergency data loan facility will provide a simple yet powerful solution for these users, thereby ensuring the continuity of the seamless high-speed data experience.
Jio has been at the forefront of product innovation to provide customers with a fresh experience. It recently scaled its network to almost double its data capacity and speed.
“Jio users have already started experiencing better network connectivity and higher speeds. Many users are able to consume their daily data quota very quickly and are left without high speed data for the rest of the day. Jio understands that not every user is in a position to buy data top-up immediately due to various reasons,” a source said.
