Reliance Jio International Roaming Packs

Reliance Jio detailed its new IR packs in a press note. 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. It also enables outgoing calls to India, as well as those made locally. 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 says outgoing local and rest-of-the-world (ROW) calls and SMS made over Wi-Fi will not be allowed with its IR packs.

Packs for UAE start at Rs. 898, which offer 100 minutes each for outgoing and incoming calls, 1GB of high-speed data, 100 SMS, and a seven-day validity. Meanwhile, prices of packs for Canada, Thailand and Saudi Arabia start at Rs. 1,691, Rs. 1,551, and Rs. 891, respectively.

Reliance Jio users travelling to the Caribbean can take advantage of in-flight benefits with the most expensive Rs. 3,851 IR recharge plan. The list of all the packs with their respective benefits is as follows:
