A bunch of confusions over Trai’s orders, people willing to subscribe to Reliance Jio aren’t quite sure whether to go for it or not. Clearing all doubts, a senior official has confirmed that Reliance Jio wouldn’t charge on voice calls for its own network. Speaking to The Times of India, the officer said, “The company has reconfirmed that it will never charge for a voice call on its network. The free-calling offer is clearly mentioned in all the 10 pre-paid and seven post-paid tariff plans Jio has filed with the telecom regulator Trai. Since zero-tariff on voice is not part of any promotional package, it won't be affected by change or withdrawal of such packages.”

As per Trai regulations, a promotional plan cannot be extended beyond 90 days. Jio’s promotional plan ends on 3 December.
As per the rule all operators need to submit a base tariff plan with the regulator. However, companies also offer several other pre-paid and post-paid packages, which are also submitted with the regulator. Jio has filed several plans with Trai where it has made all voice calls (local and STD) free at home and national roaming.
