If you’re travelling abroad soon and use a Jio SIM, there’s good news. Reliance Jio has just refreshed its entire International Roaming (IR) lineup, giving users significantly more data on several packs — without touching the prices. The update also brings inflight Wi-Fi connectivity on select premium plans, something that wasn’t widely available before.
In this guide, we’ll break down every new Jio International Roaming plan, organised by country coverage, so you can pick the right one before you fly.
What’s New in Jio’s International Roaming Plans (July 2026)
Jio has reorganised its roaming portfolio into four simple coverage tiers instead of scattered individual packs. Here’s the quick summary of what’s changed:
- Up to 4x more data on select international roaming packs
- Same prices as before — no hike despite the added data
- Inflight connectivity now bundled with several premium plans
- Four coverage tiers: 132 countries, 100 countries, 75 countries, and 6 countries (regional)
This makes it easier to pick a plan based on where you’re travelling and how long you’ll be there, instead of digging through dozens of confusing options.
Jio Roaming Plans for 132 Countries
This is Jio’s widest coverage tier, ideal for travellers heading to Europe, the US, UK, Australia, and most popular international destinations.
| Price | Data | Voice Minutes | SMS | Validity | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1,499 | 2 GB | 100 mins | 100 SMS | 14 days | — |
| ₹2,899 | 5 GB | 200 mins | 100 SMS | 30 days | Inflight connectivity |
| ₹2,799 | 3 GB | 100 mins | 50 SMS | 365 days | Annual plan |
The ₹2,799 annual pack is worth noting if you travel internationally a few times a year and don’t want to recharge every trip.
Jio Roaming Plans for 100 Countries
This tier covers a slightly smaller list of countries but offers a much wider price and data range — from short trips to long, data-heavy travel.
- Prices range from ₹951 to ₹5,999
- Data ranges from 4 GB to 30 GB
- Voice minutes go up to 400
- SMS benefits go up to 500
- Inflight connectivity included on the higher-end plans
This tier is a good middle-ground option if your destination isn’t covered under the 132-country list but you still want generous data.
Jio Roaming Plans for 75 Countries
Aimed at shorter trips or travellers who need higher daily data usage rather than a large validity period.
- Entry pack: ₹589 for 1 GB data, 100 voice minutes, 20 SMS, valid for 1 day
- Premium options: up to 15 GB data with 30-day validity
- Inflight connectivity available on select premium packs
If you’re on a short business trip and need heavy data for just a day or two, this tier usually works out cheaper than the wider coverage plans.
Jio Roaming Plans for 6 Countries (Regional Packs)
For travellers visiting a smaller set of nearby or specific countries, Jio has retained three regional pricing tiers:
- ₹1,555
- ₹2,555
- ₹3,455
These are typically better value if your destination falls within this specific 6-country list, since you’re not paying for wider coverage you won’t use.
Why This Update Matters
Jio’s roaming revamp comes at a time when international travel from India is steadily rising, and data-heavy usage (maps, UPI, video calls, social media) has become the norm even while abroad. By keeping prices unchanged and boosting data allowances by up to 4x, Jio is positioning its IR plans as a more practical option compared to buying a local SIM or relying on expensive telecom roaming rates.
The addition of inflight connectivity on select plans is also a meaningful upgrade — until now, staying connected during long-haul flights usually meant paying separately for onboard Wi-Fi.
