If you are a Jio member, then you can choose to choose another prepaid recharge plan without waiting for your present one to expire. Here’s how. If you’ve ever topped up a prepaid plan and immediately thought that you might have gotten a better deal with another plan, you’re not alone. Sometimes it’s not so easy to decide what plan to go with, especially if your data needs or calling needs alter. You may have chosen a plan with more data than you need, used up your daily data faster than you thought or just want a different validity period. If you are a Jio user, then you can choose another plan without waiting for your current plan to expire. Depending on the way it is maintained, it is possible to add a fresh recharge to the account and keep it queued for later or activate it immediately.

Jio Plans: What you need to know
Jio has various prepaid plans with varied data, voice calls, SMS, validity, and other features. The available plans can be browsed and recharged using the MyJio app or Jio’s website. You may also check your active and incoming plans, validity, and remaining benefits on the MyJio app. There are various reasons to modify a prepaid plan. For example, one who often uses up his daily data could wish to upgrade to a plan with a bigger data allocation, while another might want a longer validity period. There can also be times when you have mistakenly chosen a different plan, and you might want to replace it instead of waiting for its expiry.
