Reliance Jio to Launch on Sept 5, Bringing Along A Digital Revolution

“Reliance Jio’s goal is to take our nation from data shortage to data abundance, ” says Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries.

Mukesh Ambani formally launched Reliance Jio and announced that its 4G services will be available to consumers from Sept 5. Bringing along a data revolution, under the company’s welcome offer, Reliance Jio services like 4G and voice calling, will be available for free till Dec 31. Lyf phone users will have the offer for an year. There are plans to launch 4G Lyf phones for as low as Rs 2999/-.

Long queues of customers were formed after he announced that Reliance Jio will not charge for voice calls, even for calls on roaming within India after Dec 31. One GB of data will cost Rs 50/-, peanuts compared to the cost other Telecom companies charge and the more data you use, the more the cost will be lowered.
