Just prior to Mukesh Ambani’s launch of Reliance Jio, younger brother Anil Ambani unleashed a price war with his Reliance Communications today announcing the launch of its Pro 3- an unlimited data plan for Rs 999 a month.

The Pro 3 offers a significantly enhanced experience for data users—with speeds of up to 14.7 Mbps enabling lightning-fast data streaming, without any delay and buffering, says a RCom statement.  Jio is planning a similar strategy to tap the data customers and plans to launch its pan-India service by early next year. Reliance Jio has already spent Rs 60,000 crore to set up the digital backbone and infrastructure in India.  

Thanks to the ‘Built-for-Internet’ network design, Pro 3 users can expect superior indoor penetration, seamless outdoor coverage and congestion-free, ultra fast and consistent speeds, says RCom. In the first phase, RCOM has launched Pro 3 in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, with other key cities slated to go live shortly.

Users of Smartphones, tablets and laptops can experience the full power of Pro 3. Customers who need to use large amounts of data at high speeds can enjoy limitless Internet usage on any of these devices at a never-before monthly plan of just Rs 999, with the ‘True Unlimited Plan’, giving them worry-free usage of the Internet without any bill shocks.
