Watch Video: Reliance Jio makes voice, data services free till March 31; offers home delivery of SIMs

Reliance Industry Limited’s Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Thursday addressed employees and stakeholders and said Reliance Jio crossed the 50-million subscriber mark in less than three months after its full-fledged 4G services launch to emerge as the largest broadband operator in the country.

Here is the highlights of what Mukesh Ambani said during his speech on Thursday.

“Jio — setting a new record — has acquired 1,000 customers per minute (since September 05) and 6 lakh per day. Airtel reached the same milestone of notching 50 million subscribers in 12 years, Vodafone and Idea took 13 years each,” said a PTI report.

The company commercially launched its services on September 5. Jio has introduced Aadhaar-based paper-less Jio SIM activation across 3,100 cities and towns.

Jio connection offers users unlimited access to HD voice calls (on Jio eligible VoLTE phones), messaging, video calls, high-speed data as well as access to Jio's suite of apps till December 31.

With the Reliance Jio Infocomm (Jio) giving free 4G SIM cards and launching affordable 4G-enabled smartphones to connect the next billion, India is set to lead the 4G revolution, the International Data Corporation (IDC) said.
