NEW DELHI, Feb 21 (PTI) Via- ehitavada

BILLIONAIRE Mukesh Ambani’s telecom unit Jio will begin charging for data services from April but will give steep discounts for a year to over 100 million customers who have come on board within six months of its launch.


While local Voice calls, STD and roaming will continue to be free, he promised to match the best offers of rival telecom companies and add 20 per cent more data from April 1.


In a speech broadcast live from the company’s social media accounts, Ambani said Jio had added 100 million subscribers in 170 days since launch in September last year and the company planned to extend the network to cover 99 per cent of the population by this year-end.

Jio, which marked Ambani’s reentry in telecom space after a decade with free voice calls for life and free data for a promotional period that was extended until March 31, will offer existing users unlimited services for a year at a monthly charge of Rs 303 and a one-time membership fee of Rs 99.
