In addition to the free data, the phones will come with 1 year of extended warranty.

The Lyf handset offer for Reliance Jio users will be provided on rolling basis by the company till March 31, 2018. All you need to do is to keep purchasing recharge packs of Rs. 309 or Rs. 509 to get the extra 4G data. So if you buy the Rs. 309 recharge, you will get 6GB of extra data for the month in addition to the standard 28GB, while those on the Rs. 509 pack will get 12GB extra on top of the standard 56GB.
