Phone bookings of Jio have started in various offline retail stores in the Delhi-NCR area, much before the scheduled date of August 24, announced at the Reliance AGM. If there is an offline retailer who is taking Phone bookings of Jio right now, it can be ahead of the millions who are expected to buy the handset when bookings officially open. Gadgets 360 spoke to a retailer to know the details of the process for pre-ordering, how many units a person can order, the documents needed, delivery date and when the Rs. 1,500 refundable security deposit needs to be made. Read the complete article to know everything about the Jio phone booking.

Jio Phone booking with Aadhaar number

In order to book JioPhone, Aadhaar card needs to be submitted at an authorised Jio retailer, whether it’s a Reliance Jio outlet or is a store around the corner. As an individual consumer, only one unit can be availed per Aadhaar card across the country. As a result multiple orders cannot be placed in the hopes of getting more than one unit from different stores. After submitting the Aadhaar card, the details will be uploaded into centralised software that will assign a token number, which needs to be cited while picking up the phone.

Jio Phone price

At the July 21 event, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced that effectively, the JioPhone will be free, with a Rs. 1500 refundable security deposit. Now, during the offline booking, nothing needs to be paid after submitting the Aadhaar number. The payment of Rs. 1500, will have to be made only when the unit assigned is picked up from the offline retail store. According to Jio, this sum can be reclaimed after 36 months of using the handset.



Jio Phone delivery date

The JioPhone date of delivery will be between September 1 and September 4, for those placing the order right now. As the number of bookings are going to shoot up over the coming week, the delivery date is likely to swell up. Hence, it is better to order the device in advance at the earliest. No specific date has been mentioned by Ambani at the Reliance AGM, though the device would be available in the month of September, he said. According to him, the company aims to deliver 5 million units a week to consumers.

It is not yet clear whether the bookings will be opened in phases or has started at all offline retailers right now. The clarification on this will be updated soon by the JioPhone team. The online bookings for the handset via the MyJio app will begin on August 24.

Jio Phone specifications, features

The JioPhone, at the entry-level will come with unlimited voice, texts and data. A monthly pack of Rs. 153 (Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan) will give the customers free texts, voice, free access to Jio apps for 28 days and unlimited data (high-speed data capped at 500MB per day). Ambani, at the 40th AGM, also announced an accessory called Jio Phone TV-Cable. This will allow any kind of television sets to be connected to the users phone. In order to connect phone to TV,  users will have to recharge with a monthly pack of Rs. 309.

Coming to the features of Jio Phone, the device comes with 2.4-inch display with QVGA display, an alphanumeric keypad, torchlight, FM radio and microSD card slot. The phone will be a single SIM handset which will work only on 4G VoLTE networks. The phone supports 22 Indian languages and voice commands. There is a panic button as well. During the keynote presentation, a short demo was showcased, of the voice command feature on Jio Phone. The device, via Jio music was able to play music.

As mentioned above, the handset will have a panic button. Long-pressing the number 5 will enable it. The phone has NFC support enabling digital payments. This will be rolled out to the users via OTA software upgrade. The feature phone will have the chips of Qualcomm and Spreadtrum. At the moment, the phone does not support WhatsApp. Though during the unveiling at the Reliance AGM, there is a glimpse of Facebook, Web browser, and PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat broadcast.
