Reliance Jio’s free call offer gets Trai clean chit

[jakab]

In a boost to Reliance Jio which is offering life-time free voice calling service, telecom regulator Trai has heldthat tariff plans of the new player are compliant to existing rules and not discriminatory. “…it is found that the tariff plans filed with TRAI cannot be considered as IUC non-complaint, predatory and discriminatory, at present,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India said in a letter to telecom operators.Incumbent operators Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and others approached Trai against free call service being offered byReliance Jio, calling the tariff plan predatory, discriminatory and non-compliant to present rules. Telecom operators are required to pay 14 paise per minute for each outgoing call from their network to the operator on whose network the call finally lands.

When preparing plans Jio team must have taken all points in to consideration to avoid future legal complications.

It is very simple. If you don't want to take any Jio pack, then call charges are 2p/s. That is what Jio has done. So no one can accuse them of giving free calls. So no one can challenge them. They will say we are giving free calls only to those who subscribe to any of our packs. If they are not subscribing, we are charging.

This means even if you don't want any Jio pack, you can put balance in your Jio SIM and do calls at 2p/s. But, you will get free calls even if you subscribe to least amount pack of Rs.19 with 1 day validity & 100 MB data + unlimitied data between 2AM to 5 AM.

Conclusion: Jio has planned everything very cleverly.
