Exclusive: Reliance Jio Limiting Voice Calls to 300 Minutes Per Day For Those Misusing the Unlimited Calling Scheme

Reliance Jio is the only telecom operator in India offering free voice calls. Back in September 2016, Mukesh Ambani said that voice calls will be completely free on Jio network for the lifetime. Since its entry into the Indian market, the operator offered free voice calls, because Jio makes voice calls over data with a technology named VoLTE, which everyone is aware of.

But here comes a slight twist because Jio is now limiting voice calls to 300 minutes per day, much like other telecom operators in the country. However, the reason behind the limitation of voice calls is an understandable one, and we got the confirmation for this news from the Jio Priority team.

Yesterday, Akshay Dhir from Punjab pointed out that Jio is limiting voice calls to 300 minutes per day citing that he received the information from Jio officially. We were taken by surprise after hearing this news.

Without wasting any time, we started verifying the news whether it’s legitimate or not. And the news is true. Yes, Reliance Jio is limiting the voice calls, much like every other telecom operator in India, but the reason behind this limitation is not Trai nor any other external factor, it’s the Jio subscribers itself which made the operator to keep a daily FUP for the voice calls.

Before heading out to the actual reason, here’s a thing you need to know: This voice call limitation is not applicable to every Jio subscriber, instead, it’s limited to just some users.
