There's no such thing as a free lunch. While Reliance Jio chairman Mukesh Ambani announced the new tariff plans amid much fanfare, the biggest challenge will be whether Jio can retain its users once the "free" euphoria ends. A section on Twitter is always sulking.
Mukesh Ambani must be happy. #Jio crosses 100m mark in 6 months. Challenge is how many will stay once 'free offer' days get over!! pic.twitter.com/AvFwzktzvh

Well, our love for everything that comes for free.
Precisely which law has been amended that allows #RelianceJio to continue #HAPPYNEWYEAR offer to existing customers ?Have I misunderstood ?

#Jio offer for #Jioprime members seems good but in practical it's waste of time and money.

In other news, Jio Prime is fantastic. You are feeding the rich for the convenience you actually don't need. #thatsokay #JioPrime

Some also felt Rs 303 is a huge price to pay.
How is it free, when there is 99rs n 303rs per month involved. #JioPrime @JioCare @reliancejio

#jioprime comes with too many riders. Other service providers have 4G SIMS that work even on a feature phone, unlike Jio

Was free data plan the single biggest reason behind such a massive spike in data usage?
@imalayamohanty Network is unstable that is the reason #MukeshAmbani is charging peanuts. I doubt many will dump #JioPrime membership. #Jio
