JIO Users Get Disney+Hotstar Subscription For One Year

One of the super giant telecom industry of India, Reliance JIO, has announced a teaser saying that it is going to release a bundle offer with Disney +  Hotstar for free soon. The most important feature of this offer is- accessibility to one year subscription of Disney Plus Hotstar VIP for free. It is not the first time that JIO customers will be provided with an offer to get the yearly Disney + Hotstar subscription. Back in 2017, JIO had provided it's users the Hotstar subscription where JIO subscribers can watch  Star TV Network channels  via Hotstar app for free.

The new offer has been listed as " coming soon". Though they have provided the Hotstar Premium subscription earlier , however, this will be the first time that  JIO customers will get the annual Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription for Rs. 399 a year. It will bring access to Disney+  shows, movies and Kids content alongside exclusive Hotstar Specials and live sports including cricket, Premier League and Formula1.

However, there is no clarity on whether the bundling subscription will be limited to specific plans or all plans can use them equally. The Telecom Operator has yet not informed about the launch but the teaser banner does mention that it is  "coming soon".

The Teaser banner was first reported by telecom focused "Only Tech". But it's sure that this will increase their user base.

Over-Taking  Airtel

It is clear that JIO is going to compete with Airtel soon. JIO appears to be taking on Airtel by offering similar Disney+Hotstar VIP benefits for prepaid users. Last month, Airtel brought the Rs. prepaid recharge plan with the Disney+Hotstar VIP subscription for a year. The plan also included 3GB high speed data and a valadity of 28 days.
