RIL chief Mukesh Ambani unleashes Jio, says all voice calls will be free on its network

NEW DELHI,Sept1: Reliance Industries (RIL) chief Mukesh Ambani said on Thursday that all voice calls to any network across India on its Jio network will be free.

Roaming charges will also be zero across India. No more charging for holiday messages like Diwali either, Ambani announced.

“For data, the more data you use the lower the rate. This is the absolute lowest price for data anywhere in the world. “After every transaction on Jio you will see your bill in real time,” Ambani said.

He was speaking at RIL’s 42th shareholder meeting in Mumbai. The meeting comes at a time when the new entrant is locked in a dispute with the existing cellular operators on the points of interconnect.

“Mission of Reliance Jio is to take India from data shortage to data abundance. Jio makes India the highest quality, lowest price data market in the world,” Ambani said .
