Reliance Jio services are expected to
come out of the beta stage in January 2017. As the date of full launch of paid
services comes closer, the new kid on the block is experimenting with new ways
to enroll customers. To start with the company has started a pilot programme;
to get Jio SIMs home delivered for individuals. Airtel tried a similar strategy
when it launched its 4G services some time back.
The Jio pilot
programme will be rolled out in a phased manner and individuals will receive an
invite to schedule a Jio SIM delivery at home at a time of their choice. The
program is currently in beta and is being rolled out area wise in Mumbai, Delhi
NCR, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Vizag, Chandigarh
and Jaipur.
In another initiative,
Jio is offering housing societies and offices the option to invite a company
representative to set up a desk where users can get a SIM activated instantly
through their Aadhar card. Users can avail this option through Jio’s website or
by giving a missed mobile call to 1-800-200-200-9 and get the invite link.
Users can register their interest on jio.com/en-in/register-interest.
Reliance’s free
Welcome Offer is expected to end December 31, and after the free subscription
is over; users will have to buy a 4G plan as per their requirement. Jio
promises the cheapest 4G plans, at Rs 50 per GB. Reliance Jio will be offering
2GB of data for Rs 299 a month, 4GB at Rs 499 per month, 10GB at Rs 999, with
