Reliance at its 40th AGM on Friday, Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced the launch of the much talked 4G feature Jio Phone. The Jio phone will be available for free but buyers will have to deposit a fee of Rs 1500 which will be refundable after three years.ย Along with that, the telecom company has announced its cable TV.

Jio Phone Plans

Althoughย Reliance Jioย launched in India in September, the companyโ€™s offering has been restricted to smartphone users as it is a 4G only network, and to make calls, a phone has to support the VoLTE technology, which is usually not found on basic phones. The company aims to change with the Jio Phone, which comes with 4G VoLTE support. The JioPhone will include access to apps like JioCinema, JioTV, and JioMusic.

Jio Phone Rs 1500 refund

The Jio Phone will be available from August 15 and will come with a couple of different data packs. Users can either pay Rs. 153 per month, for which they will get free voice and SMS, and unlimited data, along with Jio apps, or they can pay Rs. 309 per month, to get all this, plus the support for mirroring your screen on a TV, via a cable that can even be plugged into CRT TVs. After three years, you can return the phone, and get a full refund on the deposit.

Jio Phone Features

Jio phone comes with:

  • Alpha numeric keypad
  • 2.4-inch QVGA display
  • FM radio
  • Torch light
  • Headphone jack
  • SD card slot
  • Four-way navigation system
  • Phone Contact
  • Call History

Jio Phone NFC Feature

Aside from that, the company will also have two sachet packs, at Rs. 24 for two days, or Rs. 54 per week, for users who donโ€™t want to commit to Rs. 153 as an upfront payment.

โ€œOur network continues to rapidly expand. Jio, in the next 12 months, will cover 99 percent of the population. Indiaโ€™s 4G coverage will be more than its 2G coverage,โ€ he added. To meet the need for device affordability, the company realised it would have to release a 4G VoLTE feature phone, as even an entry level smartphone costs between Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 4,500, Ambani said.
