Reliance Jio has announced that all voice calls from Jio to other networks in India will be free from 1st January 2021 as Interconnect Usage Charge regime comes to an end. Reliance Jio domestic Voice calls now ‘TRULY FREE’ after TRAI ends IUC.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has ended the interconnect usage charges (IUC) for all domestic voice calls from January 1, 2021.
Reliance Jio had started to charge IUC in October 2019 after TRAI extended the timeline for implementation of the Bill & Keep regime beyond 1st January 2020.IUC only applies when a voice call is made between two different operators and it doesn’t matter whether the other person receives the call or misses or disconnects it, the IUC charges get billed.
