He also announced that there would be no blackout days for Jio customers. They won’t have to pay extra for sending messages on occasions like Diwali. So far, almost all telecom operators blackout major festivals to earn extra revenue on the day. He said,”No more blackout days. When you need to send a message on Diwali (or other holidays), operators charge double rates. Not on Jio.”
