Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel shared their new rates in unlimited plan with 50% higher cost. Reliance Jio all in one plans are 40 % higher on other hand. Telecom companies were facing losses due to the data available at cheaper rates.

IUC May Be Reduced to Zero From 1 Jan 2020 –

Currently you have to pay 6 paise per minute if you are making calls to non jio mobile. Jio to jio calls are free but IUC (Interconnect Usage Charge) are paid to the other mobile network operator if you are making calls to the respective mobile operators. Earlier Reliance Jio use to pay the IUC charges to other operators like Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel or others. Company has paid nearly Rs 13,500 crores in past.

But now for IUC company has to deduct 6 paise per minute call for offnet mobile calls. It is not mandatory to opt for IUC Top-Up if you don’t have to make calls to other networks. If you have only jio to jio calls, then IUC Top-Up is not required. IUC Top-Up does not have any validity you can use it as per your usage whenever required.

Good thing is IUC may be reduced to zero from 1^st Jan 2020 and then you don’t have to pay any charges for making calls to other mobile networks like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, etc.
