Reliance Jio Welcome Offer likely to expire on December 31

Zee Media Bureau

New Delhi: Will it won't it? Speculations whether Reliance Jio will extend the Welcome Offer beyond December 31 are rife.

As per reports, the company has even published flyers and brochures which will introduce existing and new users to Jio’s tariff plan. What's more, the brochures clearly mention that the tariffs are applicable from Jan 1, 2017.

If Reliance Jio was planing to extending the Welcome Offer to March, it would not have printed brochures and posters clearly outlining the date of implementation as January 1, 2017.

The company, however has remained non-committal on the extension so far. It had earlier said that Jio's Welcome offer will be extended if the existing users continue to face interconnection problems.

The incumbent operators including Airtel has said that points of interconnect (PoIs) between Reliance Jio and incumbent telcos has become a non issue as they have given thousands of more interconnect points within a few weeks.
