In response to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)‘s recent directive, Jio has launched two affordable voice-only recharge plans aimed at users who primarily use their phones for calling and SMS.

TRAI had instructed all telecom operators to offer non-data plans to ensure accessibility for users who do not require internet services. Jio was quick to comply by rolling out new prepaid plans with long validity and no data benefitsfocusing purely on essential mobile communication.
