RelianceJio - The cheapest LTE in India by EpIcInCoGnItO 2016/09/01 09:51
Jio is here to make high-speed 4G accessible to Indians.
After months of delays, Reliance Industries head Mukesh Ambani launched Jio, the first LTE-only network in the country. The network has been active for several months, albeit in a pre-launch mode with SIM cards doled out to select customers. With today's announcement, the network is now open to all in India, with registrations kicking off from September 5.
There's a lot to talk about, but the main highlight with Jio is its disruptive pricing, with the carrier offering the lowest LTE data rates in the world. In a first for the Indian market, Jio is offering free unlimited voice calls for its entire userbase across India, even those on roaming.
Reliance Industries poured a staggering *20 billion into setting up Jio's infrastructure and acquiring spectrum license for its 4G services, and we're finally starting to see the results of that investment. Let's break the salient points down:
Free voice calls for everyone
Free voice calls will be a game-changer for Jio. Ambani announced that all Jio customers would get unlimited domestic voice calls, including calls to other networks. So, if you're calling a friend who's on Airtel from your Jio number, you won't incur any charges. Jio is also abolishing roaming charges, which means that you no longer have to worry about additional tariff when moving states. You also don't have to worry about blackout days (festivals, holidays, and such) if you're on Jio, as the carrier isn't going to charge anything extra on these days.
Essentially, if you're a Jio subscriber, all voice calls are free.
Affordable LTE is finally here
The main draw with Jio is its LTE pricing. By providing 1GB of 4G data for as low as ₹50 (*0.75), Jio will revolutionize the telecom industry in the country and make high-speed internet accessible to everyone. The network will offer all-inclusive tariffs, which includes voice, data, texts, Wi-Fi tethering, and access to its digital content services all bundled in a single plan.

It's just a marketing Gimmick. Speed will drop with the time & it's network too. !! But thanks to Ambani at least other operators will reduce their cost and end user willl be benefited

Im In a very a very rural location but fortunately they shoving masts everywhere even on sime the big HT electricity pylons have them , and theres a Communications mast 2miles away on a high up hill , that's Great , but we still have black spots with zero coverage, and Unlike with other Radio Frequencies Mobile UHF is line of sight , and surprisingly going higher up on the Moors you get lesser signal probably only GPRS -nana- even though you maybe a thousand feet above a mast down in the valley ,if one if its directional antenna isnt point a bit uppy your FK.D.
.
Oh the joys of Radio waves i remember dabble in shortwave and amateur,/public cb radios , you could at times reach russia or USA from a 30ft rod on your roof and a 30w power output.
.
Do they have public CB radio in INDIA?
Im sure they must have the amateur radio as its worldwide and requires you to sit an exam and know morse code at so many words per minute
