Its a known thing
With Jio, it is free though
Ditched jio sim a while ago to reduce the number of sim cards in hindsight of ARPU by Telecom operators .
Although wasn’t sure it was obvious that calling toll free number would incur charges.
what’s a toll free again? 
1860 starting numbers are only free for BSNL and MTNL operators..Rest are charging this for ages
It’s free on jio as well
1860 numbers are not toll free. 1800 numbers are toll free. 1860 numbers have always been charged.
+1.
Rather than calling 1860.. call their regular number and ask to transfer call to cc
.
Only jio provides truly unlimited calls so far including special 1860 numbers! Rest of them (Pvt ones) can do this as well, but they have been enjoying the loot like the other loot of call and data plans.

1860 is not toll free
1860 not free on bsnl mtnl too
Even messages to tata sky nos like 56633 are charged on other networks, but free on Jio
1860 which looks like and feels like toll free is not free. That how companies take advantage of this toll free lookalike.
Jio ho Tio ho ya pio jo… ap jab 1860 number pay phone karogay (Free unlimited calls kay plan mai) toh message ayeag : Yeah Suvidha Apkay Phone mai uplabd nahi hai
