Reliance Jio launches voice calls over WiFi networks

NEW DELHI : Taking a cue from rival Bharti Airtel, India’s only profitable telecom operator Reliance Jio has launched voice calling over WiFi networks.

The service is currently compatible only on premium smartphones and in the Delhi telecom circle, according to people in the know of the matter.

An email query sent to Jio wasn’t immediately answered.

Last month, Airtel announced that it had launched this service for its customers in Delhi, Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, Kolkata and Andhra Pradesh.
