At that time the amount charged by other service providers like Airtel and Vodafone used to charge for a month, where Reliance Jio was providing it for 84 days at the same price. This is the major reason for the shifting of the customers to Reliance Jio from Airtel and Vodafone.
Now the news in the center is that Reliance Jio will start charging for the calls made by Reliance Jio to other telecom providers like Airtel or Vodafone Idea. Reliance Jio has announced that they will charge 6 paise per minute. It means that the customers need to top up their plan.
