Reliance Jio makes all domestic voice calls free again from today
Mumbai/IBNS: The Reliance Jio has once again made all domestic voice calls free from Jan 1, 2021.
A statement by Jio reads, "As per directions of the Hon’ble Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (“TRAI”), the Bill and Keep regime is being implemented in the country from 1st January 2021, thereby ending interconnect usage charges (IUC) for all domestic voice calls.
"Honouring its commitment to revert off-net domestic voice-call charges to zero, as soon as IUC charges are abolished, Jio will once again make all off-net domestic voice calls free, starting 1st January 2021. On-net domestic voice calls have always been free on the Jio network."
"For context, in September 2019, when TRAI extended the timeline for implementation of the Bill & Keep regime beyond 1st January 2020, Jio was left with no option but to start charging its customers for offnet voice calls, at a rate exactly equivalent to the applicable IUC charge," the statement added.
