Jio has announced to charge IUC (Interconnect Uses Charge) at the rate of 6 paise per minute from its users on calling the number of users with other network service providers. With this, Vodafone-Idea, Airtel and Jio trio jumped on twitter and started trolling each other.
Sharing a U-turn on Reliance Jio’s free voice call, Airtel posted a tweet on their Twitter account mentioning that “For some, unlimited means something else. For us, unlimited voice calls have always meant truly unlimited voice calls. Switch to Airtel now.” Further, it stated “Unlimited calling means unlimited calling. No fine print. No hidden cost. Switch to Airtel.”

On the other hand, Vodafone tweeted that “Relax, there will be no charges on Vodafone calls to other networks. So keep enjoying what we promised you – truly free calls on Vodafone unlimited plans. Spread the news and share this link with friends and family who wish to join Vodafone.”

As expected, Reliance Jio retaliated against both operators with sequential tweets. Jio Trolled Vodafone by tweeting this funny tweet.

Taking a sarcasm at Airtel, Reliance Jio said in a tweet, “As per Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) regulations Interconnect Usage Charges (IUC) every time a Jio customer makes an outgoing call to another operator’s customer, That operator is paid 6 paise/minute. “
