Ahead of the impending launch of Reliance Jio's 4G services, rival Reliance Communications today announced app-to-app 4G calling at Re 1.
The Anil Ambani-led firm will bundle 300 minutes of app- to-app talking, valid for 30 days at Re 1, translating into 10 minutes usage per day under the limited period offer.
Users will get a daily data credit of 7 MB into their accounts that can be used to make these calls, Reliance Communications CEO Consumer Business Gurdeep Singh told reporters here.

These apps will include the likes of WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Skype, Google Hangout, imo and Viber.
RCom, which has 110 million subscribers, however, did not disclose the number of 4G users.
RCom's 4G LTE network operates in the 850 MHz spectrum band.
Operators in the country, including the likes of Airtel and Vodafone, have been pushing their 4G services launching offers like data credit and cheaper tariffs.

Singh said the offer is already available in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and will also be launched in southern circle in the next one week.
"After the one month trial offer is over, or in case the customer wants to talk more (beyond the daily data credit), then they can buy the Rs 39 pack for 200 MB data," Singh said.
Asked about the ongoing tariff war in the telecom sector, Singh said that Reliance Communications would stay focused on delivering quality, rather than simply dropping prices.
"Our research shows that people are willing to pay for a good service," he added.
