Reliance Jio has rolled out a prepaid plan that’s clearly designed for cricket lovers and binge-watchers. If you stream a lot of content on Disney+ Hotstar, this one might catch your eye—the new Rs 349 recharge gives subscribers 90 days of Disney+ Hotstar Mobile, along with unlimited 5G and free calling. But before you get too excited, there are a few conditions you should know about.
What the Rs 349 Jio Plan Actually Offers
For Rs 349, Jio users get:
- 2GB of high-speed data per day (that’s 56GB for 28 days).
- Unlimited voice calls across all networks.
- 100 SMS per day.
- 50GB JioAICloud storage and access to JioTV.
- The star of the show: 90 days of Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription.
Once you hit the daily 2GB cap, data speed drops to 64Kbps—so, not exactly streaming-friendly after that.
The Catch With the 90-Day Hotstar Deal
Here’s where it gets a little tricky. The plan itself is valid for 28 days, but the Hotstar subscription runs for 90 days. To unlock the full benefit, Jio requires you to recharge within 48 hours of your current plan’s expiry. Miss the window, and you could lose out on the bundled Hotstar access. So yes, timing matters here.
More Jio Plans With Disney+ Hotstar
If you’re someone who doesn’t like monthly recharges, Jio has a few longer-term options that also bundle Disney+ Hotstar:
- Rs 949 Plan – 2GB/day for 84 days, with Hotstar + two more OTT subscriptions.
- Rs 100 Hotstar Data Pack – Extra 5GB data, valid for 90 days, bundled with Hotstar.
- Rs 195 Cricket Data Pack – 15GB data for 90 days + Hotstar, perfect for streaming matches.
Why This Matters Right Now
Cricket season is warming up again, and Hotstar is carrying the live matches. For fans looking to watch Australia vs South Africa in the upcoming ODI series—or any other sporting action—this plan is positioned as a pocket-friendly way to stream without worrying about rising OTT prices.
Disney+ Hotstar renewed its sports streaming rights in India recently, so bundles like these are Jio’s way of keeping customers hooked while staying competitive in the prepaid race.
Final Take
The Jio Rs 349 plan is a solid deal for anyone who streams daily—especially cricket matches on Hotstar. But, it comes with strings attached. If you’re not careful with recharge timing, you might miss out on the OTT benefit. For consistency and longer validity, the Rs 949 plan probably makes more sense for dedicated streamers.
