Jio, BSNL, and Airtel Users Can Now Make Calls Using Any Available Network

  In a major technological leap, Indian telecom giants Jio, BSNL, and Airtel have introduced a groundbreaking feature allowing users to make calls using any available network, even when their own SIM signal is lost.

The initiative also strengthens India's telecom infrastructure by fostering collaboration among service providers. To activate this feature, users need to ensure their handsets support multi-network roaming and follo...
