HOW TO REGISTER INTEREST FOR JIOPHONE

In our earlier post "JioPhone - India Ka Smartphone", we explained about all the important features of upcoming JioPhone. In the same post, we also informed about the beta test launch on 15th August with selected customers and official start of bookings from 24th August.

On its official website www.jio.com, the company has provided with an option to register interest into the new JioPhone which is the world's cheapest 4G phone, where the company is providing the phone at an effective price of Zero rupees.

Below is the step by step procedure to register your interest into the JioPhone through its official website.

1) Open Reliance Jio’s official website (www.jio.com) and click on ‘keep me posted’.

Click on "Keep Me Posted" button

2) A pop-up ‘Register Interest’ will open where the user needs to share his details such as name, email, phone number. Click submit.

Fill in all details and accept the terms and conditions.

3) You should get a confirmatory screen with a thank you message.

Thank You confirmation indicates successful submission of interest.

The company is expecting a large number of orders and shipments are expected to start as early as the first week of September. While the JioPhone technically costs nothing, buyers will need to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs1,500 at the time of booking the phone. The security deposit is to ensure that no one misuses the offer and hoards phones. After 36 months, a Jio Phone user will be eligible for a full refund of the security deposit. There are specific tariff plans for the Jio Phone feature phone.

There is a recharge of Rs153 per month that provides unlimited calls and bundles unlimited internet use too—out of this, 500MB each day will be on 4G speeds, and any data usage beyond that will be available on reduced internet speed. The JioPhone can also be connected to any TV, including the old CRT TVs, for streaming TV shows and movies from Jio’s own streaming apps. This pack will cost Rs309 a month, and will bundle unlimited calls as well as 1GB data every day at 4G data speeds.
