Jio has launched new prepaid plans that contain a special bonus – a bundled Netflix subscription – in an exciting update for its prepaid subscribers. Previously, Netflix subscriptions were only accessible with select Jio Postpaid and Jio Fibre plans; however, this is the first time a Netflix subscription is available as part of a prepaid plan. Through these new bundled prepaid plans, more than 400 million Jio prepaid consumers will now be able to access and enjoy a Netflix subscription.
The initial prepaid plan costs Rs 1099. The plan includes a Netflix membership, but it is only available to mobile customers. Along with the Netflix subscription, the Jio welcome offer includes unlimited 5G data and 2GB of data each day. You also receive unlimited phone calls and an 84-day validity period.
The second plan costs Rs 1499. It also includes a Netflix subscription, but it is not confined to mobile devices; you can also use it on a huge screen. Along with the Netflix subscription, the Jio welcome offer includes unlimited 5G data and 3GB of data each day. You also receive unlimited phone calls and an 84-day validity period.
“Our dedication lies in providing top-notch services to our users,” said Kiran Thomas, CEO of Jio Platforms Limited, of this significant development. Incorporating Netflix among our prepaid plans is another step towards demonstrating our dedication. Our collaborative efforts with global partners like Netflix continue to grow, and we’re jointly setting standards for the rest of the world to follow.
Tony Zameczkowski, Netflix’s Vice President of APAC Partnerships, expressed his excitement about the expanded cooperation with Jio. “We are extremely excited to expand our association with Jio,” he said. We have successfully presented a varied assortment of popular local shows, documentaries, and films to viewers across India over the years. Our library of must-see storytelling is growing, and our innovative prepaid bundle relationship with Jio will give a broader audience access to this enthralling mix of Indian material as well as engaging stories from around the world.”
Netflix India has handpicked a wide range of films and programmes spanning multiple genres and creative formats. Several local hit shows and films have been produced on the platform, including Delhi Crime, Rana Naidu, Class, Kohrra, Darlings, RRR, Gangubai Kathiawadi, Monica O My Darling, Shehzada, Lust Stories, and others. In addition to its impressive Indian catalogue, Netflix has a diverse selection of internationally acclaimed episodes and films, including international hits such as Money Heist, Squid Game, Never Have I Ever, Stranger Things, and Wednesday.
Netflix revealed an amazing list of Tamil and Telugu language films earlier this year, with titles such as Beast, Godfather, Dhamaka, Love Today, Major, Dasara, and Virupaksham.
