Reliance Jio has extended the deadline for its Jio Prime plan till April 15. The move comes as the company wants to give its customers breathing time for smooth transition between its free and paid services. Along side announcement for extension of Jio Prime deadline, Jio also unveiled Jio Summer Surprise offer, which Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani insists is the first of many surprises for Jio Prime members.
“For us, your first recharge is an auspicious moment. Therefore, we want to offer a token of our appreciation and gratitude to all JIO PRIME members… the JIO SUMMER SURPRISE,” Ambani said in a press note. Let us take a look at what Jio’s new ‘Surprise Offer’ is and how to get it:

Jio’s ‘Summer Surprise’ offer extends all the benefits of Jio’s free services for the initial 3 months on a complimentary basis. This means, Jio’s paid tariffs will only be applicable from July.

How to get Jio ‘Summer Surprise’ offer?
To get Jio’s free services for three more months (April, May and June), users will have to become a Jio Prime member first and then recharge with Rs 303 plan or more. The Jio Prime membership costs Rs 99 and is valid till March 31, 2018. Users can recharge for Jio Prime via MyJio app and Jio.com or walk in to Jio’s offline store.

Can I get ‘Summer Surprise’ offer without getting Prime membership?
No. For users to avail the benefits of the ‘Summer Surprise’ offer, they’ll have to enroll in to the Jio Prime plan and get an additional recharge of Rs 303 or more done.
