Reliance Jio introduces new ISD plans
In a press release, the company detailed the new ISD minutes packages. Minute packs essentially offer subscribers a set number of on-call minutes without any additional benefits. These are different from pay-as-you-go top-up plans, where customers have to buy a package to get a special ISD call rate and no minute-based limit. These plans are generally useful for those who only make short international calls and don’t want to spend a lot on them.
