Jio opens feature-phone recharges to rival 4G devices
Reliance Jio has opened its low-cost 4G feature phone recharge plans to devices from rival companies. This action follows an order from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which identified device-specific tariffs as discriminatory.
Key Takeaways
- Reliance Jio now allows its low-cost 4G feature phone recharge plans on rival devices.
- TRAI identified device-specific tariffs as discriminatory.
- The move was reported on May 16, 2026.

What to watch next is whether TRAI issues similar findings on other device-linked tariff plans.
