Reliance Industries Limited chairman Mukesh Ambani has announced some amazing Reliance Jio offers for all users. The company has announced the cheapest 4G rates, along with unlimited voice calls for users. Starting September 5, ‘Jio welcome offer’ will provide free Jio services to everyone until the end of the year. Students will get an additional 25 per cent data on main tariffs. Reliance Jio connections were limited to Lyf smartphones when the service was first launched for consumers, but has since expanded to most devices available in India.
These are the points you need to remember while buying a Reliance Jio sim:
1) Provide a valid photo ID along with passport size photographs at a Reliance Digital store.
2) It is important that the passport photos that you take are recent – taken in the past three months.
3) The person on whose name the SIM is being bought needs to be present at the dealership to sign the necessary applications, and on the photocopies of ID proofs.
The billing process will be done online, and you will get a receipt on your email ID. An SMS receipt will also be sent to the user. A few hours after the formalities are done you will get a message asking you to tele-verify your details.
Reliance Jio 4G sims can be activated within 15 minutes when E-KYC is used
If you want to use voice + data then call 1977 using the Reliance Jio SIM to initiate the process. For just data services you can call 1800-890-1977 from your registered number. The 1977 number is significant as the year in which Reliance was launched. On the call you will be asked to key in your RJio number, available on the SIM pack. Next you will need to give the last four digits of the ID document submitted.
However, Mukesh Ambani announced that within six weeks all connections will be E-KYC and with an Aadhar card buyers will be able to walk out with a working connection in just 15 minutes. That means the entire process above can be bypassed.
However, we have to warn you that there are already long queues outside all Reliance Digital shops and it might not be that easy getting hold of a SIM card, especially after all the announcements Amabni has made. After September 5, you will be able to use the SIM on any phone.
Reliance has claimed that the data rates on Jio 4G are the cheapest in the world. Data tariffs on the network will start at Rs 50 per GB or 5 paise per MB. The entire bouquet of Reliance Jio apps will also be free until the end of 2017.
