Reliance Jio, a leading telecommunications company in India, has unveiled the `Jio Bharat` phone platform, aimed at enabling the 250 million feature phone users in the country to access internet-enabled services. This initiative is part of Jio`s vision to bridge the digital divide and empower every Indian with the benefits of digital technology, an official press release on Monday said.
It said, while India is at the forefront of the 5G revolution with the introduction of Jio`s True 5G network, a significant portion of the population still relies on 2G-era feature phones, lacking access to the internet. This digital disempowerment has been exacerbated by other telecom operators raising prices for basic voice services, making it even more challenging for users to stay connected. Jio Bharat aims to address this issue by offering affordable internet-enabled phones and data plans specifically designed for feature phone users.
