Panaji: Considering the requirement of Amarnath pilgrims, Jio has introduced a special Amarnath Yatra prepaid plan in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) for the Amarnath pilgrims.
The special Rs 102 prepaid plan comes with unlimited voice and data benefits to users with unlimited voice calls (Local and National), Unlimited SMS (100/day) and Unlimited data (0.5GB/Day High Speed Data, thereafter unlimited at 64Kbps) with a validity of Seven days.
The plan is designed to address the needs of pilgrims from other parts of the country who are on prepaid plans.
Kashmir valley has restrictions on the roaming facilities of prepaid subscribers from the rest of the country and hence the pilgrims are faced with connectivity challenge during yatra.
Due to these restriction, often telecom users from other parts of county opt for a new prepaid connection along with a short-term prepaid plan while visiting J&K.
The plan can be availed at various Jio retailers in J&K and is available for the entire duration of Amarnath Yatra. However, Jio App Subscription and prime membership is not available on this plan.
