Jio Confirms Non-Functionality Of Data Vouchers With Only Voice & SMS Plans

Jio currently offers two voice and SMS-only plans—priced at Rs 448 and Rs 1,748—which provide unlimited calling benefits for 84 and 336 days, respectively, along with a limited number of SMS.

Reliance Jio, India’s leading telecom provider by market share, recently introduced voice and SMS-only plans. However, the announcement didn’t sit well with many consumers, as evidenced by the wave of online criticism. Adding to the disappointment, TelecomTalk has now verified that Jio will not support data vouchers with these plans.

The company confirmed this restriction through its official social media account on X.

JioCare, in response to a query from a user on the platform, wrote, "We offer Data-Only Packs (11/19/29/49/175/219/289/359) that provide data with a limited validity. If you wish to use data, you can recharge with any one of these packs. However please note that Data Boosters or Data Add-On packs (69/139) cannot be recharged if you only have a Voice and SMS plan active on your account."

Jio Voice, SMS-Only Plans

Jio currently offers two voice and SMS-only plans—priced at Rs 448 and Rs 1,748—which provide unlimited calling benefits for 84 and 336 days, respectively, along with a limited number of SMS. However, a major downside of these plans is that users cannot purchase separate data packs if they require mobile data later.

In contrast to this, Vodafone Idea has confirmed that its voice and SMS-only plans allow users to add data vouchers, ensuring both services function together. Similarly, Bharti Airtel follows the same approach, permitting users to recharge with data packs alongside their voice plans. This makes Jio the only telecom operator restricting customers from adding data vouchers to its voice and SMS-only plans.
