Reliance Jio, which is expected to launch its 4G services somewhere in 2015, is also planning to offer its own messaging service. The messaging service will be called Jio Messenger and would work on the same lines as WhatsApp or other IP based messaging service like Hike.
“The app has been developed in-house and currently being tested vigorously among a closed user group,” a source close to the development informed.
The company is planning to launch the Jio Messenger along with its 4G services launch.
“Both the 4G as well as Jio Messenger are being planned for a simultaneous launch,” the source added.
The messenger app has been developed for multiple platforms and will be made available in different app stores like Android Play store or Apple iTunes.
“As of now, I believe, the Jio Messenger has been developed for android and iOS as we have got the two versions for testing,” said another source who demonstrated the messenger app to TeleAnalysis.
The app is being tested within the Reliance Jio employees.
The Jio Messenger incorporates almost all the features of some of the existing messenger services like WhatsApp, Hike or Line. With the app an user can send text messages, video and audio messages besides being able to make VoIP calls. Besides this, Reliance Jio is testing the integration of social media on to this application. By making this, an user while sending a text message to a contact, can upload the same to his Facebook wall or his Twitter account, if he or she wishes to.
The Jio Messenger will be pre-installed in the devices that Reliance Jio would be offering as a bundled service when it launches its 4G services. For other mobile devices which are not on contract with Jio, users can download the app from the respective app stores.
Reliance Jio is the only operator to have pan-India license to offer 4G services in all 22 telecom circles in the country. As it is getting ready to offer the high-speed mobile services, it does not want to leave any telecom service out of its service offerings. Besides wireless broadband, the company is planning to launch fixed broadband, WiFi and now, it also wants to enter into OTT services like Jio Messenger.
