| All Common Questions and Answers People Asked on Quora About Reliance Jio 4G SIM! |
What is Reliance Jio?
Reliance Jio, or officially known as Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), is a service provider for mobile networks, broadband services and digital services in India. Jio claims to be the only true provider of 4G LTE services pan-India. The services were launched in the beta phase for Jio's partners and their employees on the 27th of December 2015, on the eve of the late Dhirubhai Ambani's birth anniversary. Yesterday, at the Reliance AGM, chairman Mukesh Ambani officially launched the services.
Still, what can one get?
Okay, it's everything you associate the word 'internet' with. Jio offers SIM cards for 4G enabled phones and 4G personal hotspots for wireless internet on the go. Reliance also offers Jio apps that promise to offer exclusive digital content (music, videos, TV and movies). The company is also offering budget-friendly smartphones via a subsidiary called LYF with Jio services. In the recent future, the company also plans to launch home internet with speeds up to 1 gbps.
Does it only work with LYF phones? Can I use on my iPhone and Android?
No, buying a LYF phone is not necessary if you don't need one. As of now, Jio services were only available on select Android phones that support VOLTE but Reliance promises that it will be available for any phone that supports 4G from September 5th 2016.
Why is it making so much noise?
Because Reliance just showed India how cheap internet data actually is. They completely disrupted the market providing some jaw-dropping offers. Not only are they providing the internet to everyone at throw away prices, but are also making voice calls to any network whether local or roaming absolutely free
Is data unlimited in the welcome offer?
4GB per day is available at 4G speeds. It drops to 128 kbps after.
What kind of speeds should I expect?
Jio promises speeds up to 135 Mbps but that depends on your location. In some areas speeds up to 90 Mbps have been recorded while in some places the speed has been as low as 1 Mbps. A uniform speed should be expected once it commercially launches.
Should I go for it?
Reliance has done what they do best - offer a dream that sounds too good to be true. But it actually seems to be happening. The network still has some major glitches which need to be fixed, which is partly a reason why it is being offered for free until 31st December. So if you have a dual-SIM phone, sure, go for it. It doesn't hurt anyone since it's free. But wait for it to launch commercially before you make it your primary network of choice.
My Jio SIM is not recognized?
