Yes Bro I had same issue with iPhone 6s plus !!! (Sold it off for op3) . Plus Jio no longer allows you to set APN for iphone. Guess it's because of the iPhone 7 1 year free offer. But coming back to network issue neither s7edge nor op3 has that issue ( touch wood ) till now. @Dushie did you try *#*#4636#*#* to set network only to LTE ?

Congrats Bro. But with regards to speed I checked the APN and it's already in the ipv4/6 mode. Also the speed has suddenly dropped too drastically it's impossible to even connect to speedtest.net to do the actual speedtest and on internet speed meter lite I get maximum 8kbps . Impossible to use Jio as stand by mobile during day time. During night time speed goes back to 13 to 15 Mbps. Now a days I am hesitant to call using Jio because in a dual sim environment Jio can only be on LTE which means I have to use Jio for data and my Vodafone number for calls. But once I switch to my Vodafone number for data (3g) Jio goes offline as the 2nd sim can only be either 2g or 3g. So Jio is poking it's own eye with this data problems which users are facing.

But here in Chennai now speed is very bad. If you use Jio server on speed test the speed is 12 to 15 mbps where as all other servers like limras or act the speed is 2.5 to 3 mbps

That's true but what I meant was if we had JIO4g calling app for iPhone it will become a virtual dual sim phone with the main aim from AVOID or BSNL or other sim in main sim slot and JIO wipod as secondary number

But it's still not available for iPhone AFAIK

Already the Inter connecting is not sufficient for existing custmers. Now Jio offer is free and open for all. And now imagine As more and more customers join what will happen ?

Also take care of a few things : 1. Most Iphones bought in USA are carrier locked - Take care that the phone is not only Contract free but also carrier unlocked. 2. Iphones purchased in Dubai have Facetime disabled at hadware level and even if you Jaibreak you cannot do facetime ( though you have other alternatives like hangouts ) 3. Street shops in Hongkong sell super cheap iphone and looks new and seal packed. But they are not, mostly they are used and cleverly re-packed.

Please correct me if I am wrong but aren't these speeds only equal to 3g ? I have seen similar speeds even on BSNL 3g in select places.

In Chennai Since today morning My Reliance 4g Sim at last started latching on to Reliance 4G. But Alas no Data. I Sent 'start' to 1925 and got confirmation that my data services has started. still no data. Called up reliance customer care they asked me to do the usual ( roaming to national on sim utils, select network manually etc.. ) Still not working./ Anyone else in Tamilnadu able to latch on to 4g ? EDIT : I was on iphone so no option to change apn. Just now tried unlockit.co.nz and works fantastic. Now 4G With Data working on my mobile . Getting 12 MBPS D/L and 3 MBPS U/L. Looks good for now. Lets See how the plans are. I am on the 1299 unlimited plan ( 2 years prepaid ) So far I did not get any announcement of any plan change. I hope they don't suddenly start charging me without informing me first if any change in plan.

That's surprising considering both companies have their HQ in Mumbai. Anyhow I feel Jio will surely make it up. Then it will be up to us as a customer to choose between the 2 networks either the one with fall back to traditional network for Voice calls and for places where there is no coverage or to one which will provide you constant LTE coverage and Digital voice over LTE.

You must be More Surprised if you get Coverage My Quote was what Reliance Claims . But when I use in Chennai, their service is so horrible I cannot even use it as a secondary connection. I really pity those who are still hanging in there and even more so those who are using Reliance GSM. Really they must be living in pre-historic times as far as mobile technology is concerned. Anytime you get a call you need to run to near a window to make sure that you get signal or go and stand in the road.

So It Looks like RIMs promise of premium 4G is true. They are planning to provide better coverage 4G at premium prices ? So Rcom Going for the High Cost High Quality Customer whereas Jio going for us regular Users ? Very Odd Considering that all Rcom Users are there basically for both the superior quality as well the acceptable data for handset and Similary Aircel has had a reputation for providing Service for reasonable Cost. Where as the Merged Entity would entirely shift base losing all its current customers in order to gain niche customers. Almost like they are going to push all their customers to other network and starting from a clean slate. Not good strategy.

Also JIO only now in Promo Stage. If they are going to offer Cheap data there is going to be a huge rush in especially from Business with Mobile necessities, ( Which was earlier caterd by RCDMA ) . The more the Users, the more the burden on the network. Another thing, JIO needs the 850 Mhz of Rcom to get building penetration and when Jio Switches to the 850 Mhz, its maximum speed will automatically drop to below 10 MBps. Lets wait and see. All depends on who does the honest billing and gives best service at reasonable price.

Hi Depak, Sorry Didn't see your post till now. Yes Mine got activated yesterday even though my CDMA also showed tower yesterday !!! Was strange so I just switched off my CDMA mobile and started using GSM.

I think 4G will take more time due to liberalization and JIO Sharing. But I thought 3G was possible if we chose AIRCEL manually. But even that is not happening. Network is only connecting to Reliance and TATA. Both have only 2G in Tamil Nadu.

Same here in Chennai too but only 2g . No 3g yet Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Let's Hope earlier than that. Better if it happens on Sunday. Lesser problems due to disruption

As of yet CDMA still up in Chennai with 1x . No EVDO since Monday.

Hopefully for 850 Mhz coz already Jio coverage on roads un beatable . Only problem is inside buildings. If they get on the 850 of Rcom then Jio would become Completely dependable, Like Rcom CDMA was.

I don't think Jio has H/H+ as of yet it shows only Volte

Its Curious . Now in Chennai Jio's Speed has dropped by 50% , where I used to get 20 Mbps now getting 10, and where I used to get 4/3 Mbps on Zero tower display, now I am getting 1 mbps. Its still good but not that good. Must be due to Jio latching on to Rcom's Spectrum ?

There are methods to go around that.

May be its based in Chennai I am having this problem ? Because I have an alternate Airtel Number , and even now when I try I get all lines are busy. Similarly when my family members who have Airtel when they try to reach on JIO they get the same error. All other networks no problem. Only Airtel is having this problem.

To be frank I was revolted against having to buy a new LYF handset . But with the Jio 4G Offer it was very tempting . Having used the earth with Jio 4G in various parts of Tamil Nadu, Chennai, Arakkonam, Andhara Nagari and North Delhi, I must say the handset grows on you. Especially with JIO 4G coverage is consistent. Even in my home where I have zero tower I still get data almost with 1 mbps speed which is amazing. On roads I get from 30 MBPS to 10 MBPS depending on the coverage consistently. So far I have never seen any part of the roads where there is no coverage. Even when I enter Andhara via Road Coverage was Consistent except for the place where I crossed the border and just for one 100 Mts where the connection changed from Tamil Nadu to Roaming. I am extremely impressed with Jio So far. One Issue I have faced so far - Incomming from Voda / Bsnl Not a problem. But when an Airtel user calls my JIO they get message that all routes are Busy. Any other users facing this Issue ?

Reliance is drawing from the experience they had when they launched the DAPO scheme. There the advantage was that no other opreator at that time had CDMA so it was easy for them to lock the handset even though the handset prices even at that time were much higher than the cost incurred by the company as demonstrated by some of the users in this forum. Since now the Market is open they are offering bundled offers so that they could sell off all the handsets even though its for handsets which are much lesser configuration than the market.
