Jio’s new voice and SMS-only plans face consumer backlash: Data add-ons not allowed

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio recently introduced new voice and SMS-only plans, but they haven’t been well received by many users. Consumers have expressed frustration, arguing that in today’s digital age, data is an essential need, and any recharge plan that doesn’t include data feels like a pointless purchase.

Now a TelecomTalk report states that the operator does not allow customers with these plans to recharge with data boosters or data packs. This was further confirmed by Jio on X.
