Reliance Jio introduces IUC Top-Up Vouchers to charge users 6 Paisa/Min for Outgoing Calls to Other Networks

Amazing to see 33% charged as taxes (Rs 5 for R15 totaling to Rs 20).

Rs. 3.05 as 18% GST + Rs.2/- as Admin/Other charges, so total taxes & charges were Rs.5.05!

Why those admin/other charges? This is supposed to be a pass through fare to cover up the IUC expenses. Their admin/other charges should already have been factored in their plan costs.

So they get to profit even here by charging 10% extra as their charges.

They are not suppose to collect any other charges excluding GST on TopUps.

AIRTEL said as Traffic from the 4G-only operator continues to be on the higher side, both in terms of absolute magnitude and percentage

Airtel and VIL will be the beneficiaries of iuc.

They have agreed that 50% and above of their users on 2G only phones and want to extend IUC for another 3 years!
Now Jio off-net calls will be reduced due to IUC recharge.

No. They didn't want to convert village towers to 4G VoLTE, but they will start 5G trails in Cities!
In my native village, Airtel & Idea towers have still 2G only, but Jio has 4G Volte and BSNL has 3G.

AVOID 4G has improved a lot from how it was before. They still need to improve. Remember they need to manage 3 type of networks. It's hard to invest and manage at the same time. At times we need to stop complaining and think. Not happy with Avoid? Continue with 4G only operator. There's no point in beating around the same bush. They can't get rid of 2g users easily.

I am not supporting any network. Bsnl giving 2G on 900 MHz, but Avoid gives only 1800 MHz 2g signal in our rural areas, even they have enough spectrum. So Bsnl signal can receive interior areas. Why they can’t match with Govt. network atleast in 2G?
