New Delhi: Reliance Jio on Friday announced new tariff plans for JioPhone users to target customers in the feature phone segment.

The company then issued new plans for smartphone users with uniform IUC call provision in the range of Rs 222 to Rs 444.
According to the comparison chart of JioPhone tariff with one month plan of its competition in Reliance Jio statement, the Rs 75 plan is higher than around Rs 65 being charged by some of the operators.
