Reliance Jio Launches Country-Specific International Roaming Packs for Popular Travel Destinations
Reliance Jio, a leading telecommunications provider, has announced the launch of exclusive country-specific international roaming (IR) packs for popular travel destinations such as Canada, Europe, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These IR recharge plans come with multiple validity options, offering users choices for up to 30 days.
The new IR packs aim to provide users with a seamless and affordable international roaming experience. Users travelling to the UAE, Canada, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia can enjoy unlimited incoming SMS. Incoming calls, including Wi-Fi calls, can be received from any country. Outgoing calls to India and locally-made calls are also enabled. Packs for these regions also include high-speed data, which will be reduced to 64 kbps beyond the Fair Usage Policy (FUP).
However, Reliance Jio has clarified that outgoing local and rest-of-the-world (ROW) calls and SMS made over Wi-Fi will not be allowed with its IR packs.
The IR packs for different regions have varying prices and benefits. For example, the UAE Pack starts at Rs. 898, offering 100 minutes each for outgoing and incoming calls, 1GB of high-speed data, 100 SMS, and a seven-day validity.
