LTE4G

The app you are talking about is Jio4GVoice which can be installed in any 3G device but requires Jiofi's WiFi network to connect. Actually the app is designed for non volte 4G handsets to enable Voice & Video calls on Jio 4G Network. Volte is a technology of future and almost all operators are planning to adopt / implement it in near future. So my advice is to select only devices which has native VoLTE support.

Yes! Now rcom gsm/3G users can also upgrade to 4G Sim. Once upgraded to 4G you will not be able to use 3G recharge tariff anymore and will only have to recharge with 4G tariff.

Jio has restricted free data to 1GB per day now to avoid congestion created by heavy users and have provided an option for paid recharge for extra data at 4G speed just to provide benefit to genuine customers who want good service and don't mind paying for it too. see here http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37862-reliance-jio-launched-on-september-5/?do=findComment&comment=332840

The new "MyJio" app generates IMEI number as Coupon code. The case is that if you are connected to internet through SIM in Slot 1 and Slot 2 is empty it generates Slot 1 IMEI as coupon code so if you put the SIM in Slot 2 and keep the Slot 1 empty and connect to internet - you might get Slot 2 IMEI as coupon code.

Today while announcing "Happy New Year Offer" Mukesh Ambani confirmed that now they are accepting MNP - his words were : "Most of these users do not want to give up their existing phone numbers. I am happy to inform that Jio now fully supports MOBILE NUMBER PORTABILITY, and all customers can retain their existing number when they migrate to Jio." This will come in force since 4rth December 2016 with the implementation of "Happy New Year Offer".

Yes ! That is from Jio website. I have just mentioned a few important FAQs regarding explanation/clarification as posted under " Happy new year Offer " by Jio on their website. The recharge is for "Happy new year Offer" users who want to enjoy 4G data beyond per day FUP benefit and is mentioned under "Happy new year Offer" FAQs. So Jio has exactly acted the way we had suggested in our forum in our older posts that Jio should impose some restrictions for data misuse and charge nominal amount for genuine users in order to stop network congestion and provide better service.

What if I want to use data beyond FUP at full speed? Jio has introduced 2 vouchers for both its prepaid and postpaid customers, using which, you can avail high speed internet beyond FUP limit MRP Rs. 51 – 1 GB valid for 1 day MRP Rs. 301 – 6 GB valid for 28 days What if I do multiple recharges of the same data add-on voucher? These vouchers will be queued up for usage only once the first voucher has expired. This superior benefit is provided only by Jio to its customers. Is my 1 day data add-on valid for 24 hours or will it expire at midnight of the day I’ve purchased it? We believe in passing on complete benefits to our customers. Hence, unlike the industry practice of expiring a 1 day voucher at midnight, we provide complete 24 hour validity for that voucher.

As presumed Jio today announced " Happy new year Offer " FREE till 31st March 2017. This offer is for new customers and available from 4rth December 2016. Existing customers will be automatically switched to this Offer on 1st January 2017 - So Mukesh Ambani said in his speech that no need to buy New Sim for availing New Offer.

Get it confirmed by calling customer care before trying to recharge or you may loose the amount.

Now the coupon code is just the IMEI number of the handset - so try using your second SIM slot and it will generate the IMEI as bar code. (You should connect to Internet through the second SIM Mobile data connection and not Wifi or SIM 1 data to try this) Note: Better have only SIM inserted in SIM slot 2.

A legendary and remarkable Demonetisation step taken by PM. In India people feel proud / achievement evading tax and still criticise government for infra structure etc. Tax contribution is necessary for healthy nation. This will bring in more people under taxation system and will help reduce burden on the current tax payers. Huge blocks of money/cash lying stagnant in lockers can neither contribute to Industrial growth or job creation or Nation building - so it was necessary to pull that money into banking system for proper utilization in future. Opposition is shouting because they have become handicapped and are not even able to create Nationwide disturbance / violence because all their black money has become plain paper and they are now unable to fund anti-social elements to carry out actions to show that public is against the move. Well played Modi ! Ek teer se kai nishane laga diye. (A few to mention are Terrorism, Naxalites, Tax evaders, Black Money, Election expenses, Fake currency, Loan outstanding settlement with old currency, Municipal tax recovery with old currency etc.) It has also exposed political leaders who sang the song of anti corruption since years and are now crying when the time has come. Nothing comes easy in life - so majority of us stand with the Government's Demonetisation decision. As far as Real Estate is concerned I believe that that market will improve as the salaried persons cannot afford to buy property if they have to pay Black Money - but will be able to buy if the total amount is to be paid in white (Because they can avail loan and pay EMI if the total amount is white).

Nice review ! please correct the spell "Flame" in the Topic Heading. Why is it mentioned "LYF WIND 7S BLACK" in the invoice?

OP is talking about Reliance 4G (Rcom) and not Jio 4G I believe.

AFAIK anyone can possess maximum 9 connections all together from different or same operator.

You need to enable data roaming switch - it may be present in mobile networks or Sim settings or data usage.

RN3 supports VoLTE by default so you will not be able to make calls using Jio4GVoice app since you can make HD Video & Voice calls directly from Dialler.

Try using it in different location as it might be the problem with the specific network tower you are getting connected to. Did you activate the SIM in the phone in which you generated the coupon ? - Because now rhe coupon code is just the IMEI no. of the handset in which you generate code. So if you activate in any other handset it might give intermittent problem. After activating in the same handset you can use the sim in any other handset.

Lot of rumors, apps & fraud websites are floating around - so be careful and only communicate with Jio Reliance digital Xpress or Mini stores for any information.

Yes you are right - Last week I procured Jio SIM for my wife. In the morning at about 9:40 A.M. to Digital Xpress mini to inquire the position and the guy told me that you can come any time after 10 A.M. and collect the SIM - I asked him if I can come arounf 1 P.M. and he said that it would be much better - so I went to the store with my wife along with Aadhar card at about 1:30 P.M. & generated the Coupon code on the spot on my handset since there were lot of complains regarding 'already used' issue last week though the guy said that now they have changed the digits of the coupon code and complains have stopped. Then the while doing eKYC he found that server is not getting connected - he tried several times then asked us to come at around 5 P.M. and check (2 to 3 more person were also there for sim apart us). Everyone then left the store but we kept waiting and told him that we will wait and see for a while before leaving. Within 15 minutes the server got connected and he gave us the sim after eKYC verification. We returned home after doing some more shopping and didn't try the sim for two hours and when I inserted the SIM it was already ready for activation and after dialing 1977 got activated without inputting last 4 digits of Aadhar card. On checking the coupon code in depth - I found that it was exactly the IMEI number of the Handset from which I generated it using MyJio app. So now the SIM will only get activated if inserted in the same handset and can be used in any handset after activation. Seems they have changed the coupon code to prevent the 'already used' issue. Before going to Digital Xpress Mini I had inquired at a local store on the same day while recharging data pack for my other SIM for generating code - Was told that they don't have eKYC so it will take 7 to 8 days for activation and ₹300 charge (one person paid in front of me and gave copy of aadhar card and photograph also after which sim was handed over to him and he was told that the form will be filled by the Jio staff them self) Still lot of people are not aware that there is no rush at all at the Jio store and SIM is easily available - and local stores are taking advantage of this.

Yes ! In fact they should come out with some promotional discounted but PAID scheme with Data Limit (as per subscription price/slab) so as to control misuse of data otherwise. Jio cannot deny that they aren't aware of SIM black marketing by local dealers for ₹200 - ₹300 all around. Once they start taking some OFFICIAL payment for subscription and along with it they can provide some additional promotional benefit, everything will be well organized there after. Jio data has become "Mil Jaye to Mitti hai - Kho Jaye to Sona"

I had faced a similar type of problem during second week of September only for two three days wherein my Lava X11 used to loose VoLTE connectivity (VoLTE used to get disabled though it showed enabled in the settings) and I had to re-enable it by disabling and re-enabling it. But that was only for two three days and got resolved by itself (I did not complain because I wasn't sure whether it is a handset problem or network issue) - and after that I had no issue till date so far.

This issue is being observed with Mobile SIM too. I think they are putting restriction (Speed throttling) on some series of numbers for few days and restoring speed to normal some times.

Absolutely right ! I am really delighted to see Jio withstanding/surviving such extreme load - literally proves that the increase in the number of subscribers will not affect speed in future once the services become PAID. Jio have kept/designed large headroom for bandwidth management keeping in mind the increase in traffic/load in the future - if not 10 years but sure for 5 years of smooth sailing. Meanwhile they will still have enough time for further enhancement of their systems. So as I said long before in one of my post that he is deliberately overloading his system to check the versatility and stability thoroughly - that too without facing any music from the customers since everything is offered FREE.

You should be aware that these (Jio Subscribers) are not regular or general subscribers - But all of them are unlimited users (AFAIK no network has all users with unlimited plans) and majority of them try to squeeze the last bit of FREE data as well as voice & video calls of their share, which is INDEED UNUSUAL IMHO. So if Jio is still handling such huge traffic means a lot. (Traffic = Voice calls + Video calls + Downloading + YouTube + Jio TV + Jio Cinema + Jio Music + Corporate load + etc. & so on... that too unlimited) So it is not the matter of numbers (Subscribers) but the quantity of consumption (Data) going on.

Aggressive marketing for achieving target may backfire because overloading the network will yeild negative impact on the quality of service. Jio knows that almost 50% of the customers are going to ditch them once the welcome offer is over, but still they are trying to threaten the competitors by creating hollow in the market though for a short period but with a big financial impact. While doing so they forgot that they might even loose genuine high ARPU customers as well. Their only effort is to increase the number of subscribers as much as so that they can keep their promise of free voice while saving on interconnect charges. They should mainly concentrate on Quality (Network speed) of service as LTE is basically a data based service. Anyway since yesterday I have noticed a sudden revival or increase in data speed. May be Jio is still tweaking at their end while distributing load among different nodes. With so many (2 crores) subscribers - all with unlimited free - still if I am again getting improved speed - then it looks like Jio has done good fibre home work indeed.
