Reliance Jio which is the part of Reliance industries is working to launch 4G services in India after 1st of April. According to reports, Reliance Jio already started distributing 4G SIM and Wi-Fi dongles from its Reliance Digital Stores. The SIM card of Reliance Jio is available at the cost of Rs. 200 and expected to come wth free 75GB 4G data and 4500 minutes voice calls.
The company already launched its services for Reliance employees in December 2015 and employees got 75GB data and 4500 minutes calls. We cannot confirm if company will use the same pricing for other customers. Reliance Jio is already offering free 35GB data on purchase of Lyf Phone.
As per the sources, few of the Reliance Digital stores already received the SIM and related documentation for customers. Now, they are waiting for the official announcement for taking the further step.
“Our visits to Reliance Digital stores in Mumbai revealed that the stores are preparing for a possible soft launch of Jio’s 4G connections soon,” Credit Suisse said. “The tariffs post the three-month period are unknown,” it added. “It needs to be seen if a customer needs to buy a Lyf handset to get the SIM, or if the SIMs will be sold standalone.”
Not just SIM cards, company is also working to bring Mi-Fi hotspot devices. This will be an ultra-portable LTE Mobile Hotspot device. With this, one will be able to enjoy 4G speed even if he own non-4G handset. This device will support up to 10 different deices and price could be around Rs. 3000.
