- Reliance Jio Voice-Only Prepaid Plans starting at ₹147 for 22 days, unlimited domestic calls plus 300 SMS with no data bundled
- Live now via MyJio app under TRAI Mandated Packs, Jio official website and digital recharge platforms, T&C apply, subject to availability
- Long-validity options at ₹448 for 84 days and ₹1,748 for 336 days include JioTV and JioAICloud benefits
Reliance Jio's dropped voice-only prepaid packs from ₹147. You get unlimited calling without paying for data you won't use. Four short-validity options just went live, and they sit next to two longer packs that were already around.
Reliance Jio Voice-Only Plans at ₹147 Offer Launched in India
It's a direct response to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. TRAI pushed for more tariff choice, and Jio's followed Airtel and Vodafone Idea with its own voice and SMS only vouchers. And the timing isn't random. TRAI's October 21 deadline under the Telecom Consumers Protection Regulations told operators to bring out dedicated voice and SMS special tariff vouchers with lower prices for people who don't need data.
So who're these for? If you've got a feature phone, keep a second SIM just for calls, or you're on Wi-Fi most of the day, this is your lane. You were paying for 4G and 5G data you never touched. None of the six packs bundle mobile internet.

Six recharges in total. Validity runs from 22 days to 336 days. Every one gives you unlimited domestic calls, SMS quotas just change with price.

Per-Day Cost Breakdown
Here's how the math shakes out. The ₹147 pack comes to ₹6.68 per day across 22 days. The ₹177 option drops to ₹6.32 per day for 28 days. The ₹196 pack lands at ₹6.53 per day for 30 days. And the ₹197 calendar month pack? Its daily cost shifts with the month you've recharged in.
How Much You Save vs Bundled Data Plans
If you don't need data, these voice-only packs cost you less than Jio's bundled recharges for the same validity.
Savings Comparison
- ₹177 vs ₹189 Value plan: The ₹177 voice-only pack gives you 28 days, unlimited calls and 300 SMS. That's ₹12 cheaper than the ₹189 Value plan, which matches the 28-day validity but adds 2GB data plus JioTV and JioAICloud.
- ₹147 vs ₹239 plan: The ₹147 voice-only pack gives you 22 days for ₹92 less than the ₹239 pack. That ₹239 recharge also runs 22 days but throws in 1.5GB per day and 100 SMS per day.
Need a little data and want to stay under ₹200? The ₹189 plan's still there. You'll get unlimited voice calls, 300 SMS and 2GB data for 28 days, plus JioTV and JioAICloud.
Where to Recharge and Validity Details
The four short packs at ₹147, ₹177, ₹196 and ₹197 are the new ones. The ₹448 and ₹1,748 packs have been live since 2025. Now Jio's pulled all six together under TRAI Mandated Packs on its official website and in the MyJio app. You'll also find them on other digital recharge platforms.
TRAI's Thirteenth Amendment came out September 21. It tells operators to list voice and SMS only vouchers with 30 days or less validity, a calendar month choice, and at least one longer option to match. Airtel's already put up ₹185 for 28 days, ₹203 for 30 days and ₹206 for calendar month. Vi has ₹470 for 84 days and ₹1,849 for 365 days.
Is This Deal Worth It?
Buy now if you're on a feature phone, keep a second SIM just for calls, or live on Wi-Fi and want the cheapest way to keep your number active with unlimited calling. The ₹177 pack at ₹6.32 per day and the ₹1,748 pack for 336 days give you the best value for monthly and long-term use.
Consider waiting if you need mobile data at all. These packs carry zero data, so you'd have to buy a separate data voucher.
Alternative option: Jio's ₹189 Value plan costs ₹12 more than the ₹177 voice-only pack and adds 2GB data plus JioTV and JioAICloud for 28 days. That's the smarter pick if you need data now and then.

T&C apply.
