Reliance Jio Prime customers who have not migrated to the Jio Summer Surprise or the Dhan Dhana Dhan offer will still get the 1GB data despite the Rs. 499 or Rs. 509 charging. Likewise, those that have charging values of Rs. 999 or later, which contains 100 GB of data for 84 days but no daily data limitations, will get 1 GB per day if not migrated by the system.
Gadgets 360 confirmed this with the Reliance Jio customer service team, who explained that this is happening to some users because the company’s system has yet to migrate them to their new plan (depending on the charge value). In addition, it did not yet have a timeline regarding when all users will be migrated to the new offerings. This issue can be a source of inconvenience to consumers who have purchased the Rs. 509 assuming they would get 2 GB of data per day but only get 1 GB. One of those customers told Gadgets 360 that they would receive text messages saying that the 1GB limit had been exhausted even though they had bought the Rs. 509 charging. However, the issue was automatically resolved and their MyJio account started showing 2GB of daily data allocation after a few days.

DoT launches ‘Tarang Sanchar’ portal, which allows you to monitor the radiation emitted by mobile towers in your area. The Telecom department launched a portal on Tuesday that allows people to monitor the radiation emitted by mobile towers in a place and check whether they comply to the set standards. With the launch of the ‘Tarang Sanchar’ web portal, Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha hoped the site will help clear up “myths and misconceptions” about mobile towers and their emissions.
He said the portal will enable consumers to know at the click of a mouse which towers are operating in a given area and whether they meet the electromagnetic field (EMF) emission standards set by the government. The timing of the launch coincides with the recent SC order to deactivate a mobile tower in Gwalior at the request of a 42-year-old cancer patient.
The order had intensified the debate about the health impact of cell phone tower radiation. However, the government has maintained that India’s mobile tower emissions regulations are ten times stricter than global standards.
