As Reliance Jio's Prime membership deadline ends, company promises new offers

With 'Summer Surprise' offer termed 'void', Reliance Jio seems set to woo users with new offers. The company has announced on its website that it will soon be announcing new tariff packs with more exciting offers. "We are updating our tariff packs and will be soon introducing more exciting offers," reads the banner on the company's website.

A company's spokesperson also confirmed to ET telecom the same. However, he didn't divulge any details.

In a surprise move last week, Telecom Regulatory Authourity of India (TRAI) had asked Reliance Jio to withdraw its Jio 'Summer Surprise' offer. Trai said that the offer did not fit into the "regulatory framework," prompting it to order the company to stop the plan.

The 'Summer Surprise' offer gave three more months of complimentary benefits to all Jio Prime members who made their first recharge of Rs 303 (or more) by April 15. The complimentary services include three more months of free voice and data services, besides access to other Jio apps.

On its part, Reliance Jio had said that it is "in the process of fully complying with the regulator's advice", and will be withdrawing the new offer "as soon as operationally feasible, over the next few days." Incidentally, the offer is still running on the company's website.

The company also said that all those who enroll for the offer before it is withdrawn will be eligible for the 'Summer Surprise' offer. This means that nothing changes for those users who have already signed up for Jio Prime membership and paid for the telco's Rs 303 or other plans of higher value (for the first month).

In February this year, RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani had announced Jio Prime membership subscription for a one-time fee of Rs 99. The Prime membership, available for one year, gives customers the option to choose from multiple data packs starting at Rs 149.

How To Hide Text In Microsoft Word 2007, Reveal It & Protect It

Sometimes what we hide is more important than what we reveal. Especially, documents with sensitive information, some things are supposed to be ‘for some eyes only’. Such scenarios are quite common, even for the more un-secretive among us. You want to show someone a letter composed in MS Word, but want to keep some of the content private; or it’s an official letter with some part of it having critical data. As important as these two are, the most common use could involve a normal printing job. Many a time we have to print different versions of a document, one copy for one set of eyes and others for other sets. Rather than creating multiple copies and therefore multiple printing jobs, what if we could just do it from the same document? That too, without the hassle of repeated cut and paste. We can, with a simple feature in MS Word – it’s just called Hidden and let me show you how to use it to hide text in Microsoft Word 2007. It’s a simple single click process. Open the document

Clip & Convert Your Video Faster With Quicktime X & The New Handbrake 64-bit [Mac]

Recently a friend of mine asked for my help to find a video of a good presentation to be shown to one of his classes. He also requested for it to be iPod friendly as he would also distribute the video to his students. Three things came to my mind: Steve Jobs, Quicktime and Handbrake . Mr. Jobs is well known for his great presentations which are often used as references. I have several Apple Keynotes videos. For my friend, I decided to choose the one that introduced MacBook Air – the one that never fails to deliver the wow effect to the non-techie audience. It’s a part of January 2008 Macworld Keynote. First step: The Cutting To get only a specific part of the Keynote, I clipped the 1+ hour video into about 20 minutes using Quicktime X (which comes with Snow Leopard). I opened the movie using Quicktime X and chose Trim from the Edit menu ( Command + T ). Then I chose the start and end of my clip by moving both edges of the trimming bar to the desired position. To increase th

Ex-Skypers Launch Virtual Whiteboard Deekit

Although seriously long in the tooth and being disrupted by a plethora of startups, for many years Skype has existed as an almost ubiquitous app in any remote team’s toolkit. So it seems apt that a new startup founded by a team of ex-Skype employees is set to tackle another aspect of online collaboration. Deekit, which exits private beta today, is a virtual and collaborative whiteboard to help remote teams work smarter. The Tallinn, Estonia-based startup is headed up by founder and CEO, Kaili Kleemeier, who was previously a Head of Operations at Skype. She and three colleagues quit the Internet calling giant in 2012 and spent a year researching ideas in the remote team space. They ended up focusing on creating a new virtual whiteboard, born out of Kleemeier’s experience collaborating with technical teams remotely, specifically helping Skype deal with incident management. “Working with remote teams has been a challenge in many ways – cultural differences, language differences, a
