The Social Media Exchange
The conversation began when Reliance Jio posted a witty Valentine's Day message highlighting its True 5G network, subtly suggesting that Airtel users might need a "rescue." The post read:
"Roses are red, Jio's 5G is True...Happy Valentine's Day to everyone On Jio, and the rest who need a rescue. Chin up, airtel india—we'll keep them happier than you. With Love From Jio"
In response, Bharti Airtel took a different approach, using the opportunity to emphasise its stance on combating spam messages, an issue that has been a growing concern among mobile users. Airtel replied:
"Roses will be red, violets will stay blue. Fighting spam truly keeps all customers happy—maybe you should try it too!"
