Reliance Jio has announced that all the local calls made by its users to other networks in India will be free. This change will come into effect starting January 1, 2021, and the same has been confirmed by the company in a statement.

According to Jio, this has been done because interconnect usage charges (IUCs) for all domestic voice calls are coming to an end from Friday. “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,” Reliance Jio said in a statement.

All our users enjoy free voice calls with Jio,” the statement said.

As per the telecom regulator's directions, the 'Bill and Keep' regime is being implemented in India starting January 1, 2021, and it's putting an end to IUC charges for all domestic voice calls.
