Reliance Jio is brought a new era in Indian telecommunication area. I am using Jio from December 2016 and subscribed to Jio prime plan 99 and 303. Jio made internet charges down to earth, before that all other network providers like Airtel, Idea used to loot the subscribers with roaming charges, sms charges etc. With only one internet pack recharge we are getting 4G internet, unlimited Calls, SMS and free usage to Jio owned apps. This is awesome since bfore Jio we used to pay seperate charges for each services used. Jio network coverage is good in city areas. When I travel from banglore to Manglore after crossing Hasan Jio signals where not available, which means Jio needs to cover some more ares in future. Call quality awesome, only drawback is while connecting to Airtel or idea numbers it takes some time to connect. Internet speed is awesome now a days it reaches 1.5mbps speed while downloading. After completing 1gb quota I am getting 25kbps average speed. Customer service is good, I raised a query regarding low speed Internet in my area and they responded positively, asked me to share any third party internet speed calculator proof, mobile used etc. Jio sim activation is cool they use Adhar based biometric athentication which is paperless process. The drawbacks of Jio are -I didn’t get chance to select my choice number, we have to accept whatevr number Jio assigns to us.
-Need to use 4G volte smartphones. Because of this old smartphones will become useless or we have to use Airtel or idea only.
- Always Jio needs to be selected as Internet SIM in phone settings else SIM just wont work. Volte should be enabled always. So If I select my idea SIM as internet SIM in my redmi 3s phone, immedietly Jio Network shows Emergency mode. It’s a serious problem of Jio I am facing. Once internet usage reaches 70% Jio sends notification in local laguage, and once it it reaches 100% usage they send smswhich states us to recharge to get 4G speed else speed will be reduced for that perticular day. Jio tariffs are simple and awesome plans are available.I am a prepaid Jio prime user. Overall because of Jio I became full time internet user.
