sangalaviral 6 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 I also went to the store. They didn't had the handset and told me that they will get in couple of days. He also told me that express mini stores are getting converted to jio centers and they will have further info. They have provided the spec sheet of all the handsets but pricing was not certain.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Price seems high. But MDA may launch hungama type offers like 2 phones for price of one, then it will be truly vfm, IMHO... sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chetan31 1 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 @kanagadeepan, what I have understood that jio focus will be on quality and feature rich service and not Price. May have sparoidic schemes but that is only to onboard some customer Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csmart 472 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 I don't know how far this is true.. The company is likely to launch its Lyf smartphones in the first week of February in at least 13 cities, the report claims. Reliance Jio is said to offer company's SIM cards and up to 50GB of free bundled 4G data. The Reliance Jio SIM cards are also likely to offer up to 5,000 minutes of free bundled talk time on Reliance Jio network, and up to 5,000 free SMS messages.

Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 I got a UP west JIO sim. The network is patchy once you leave town areas. Speed varies between 2 mbps to 30 mbps depending on signal strength. Outgoing calls are hit and miss. At times calls do not get connected at all. Voice clarity is excellent. Problem is it would not latch on to signal if mobile network is selected to 2G/3G mode. The mobile number begins with 70170 in UP west. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 @Himanshu Singh reason is RJio has only 2300MHz band 4G spectrum in UP(W) as well as in Punjab.. No band 3 (1800MHz) or band 5 (850MHz).. This is one of the reason its joining hands with RCom to get band 5 spectrum to improve coverage.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

volstagg 24 Report post Posted February 7, 2016 just had a hands-on experience of reliance jio at chennai with the lyf water 1 mobile. mobile is very similar to the iphone 6 with speaker grills near the usb chargin port. speed of 4g was around 30-35 mbps in the city. havent tried it out in the suburbs. there was a problem with the volume on video calls as it was very low. on the demo sim, they have offered a monthly data usage of 25gb free for 3 months. pplayed a few 4k videos from youtube. played absolutely fine without buffering even once. but phone seems to definitely heat up if data is being used constantly.

Airtel has launched in 15 circles using same 2300 mhz spectrum. Infact reliance jio was the first company to start testing and adopt LTE. There were two options available wimax and LTE. Reliance jio opted for LTE. Started testing also. I think they would sell to an international telecom company like AT&T, America Movil or MTN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats the point of launching patchy network and ruining the brand name for once and all. Airtel use 2300 only for Data. Voice either switches back to 2g or 3g. it is difficult to get a pure VOLTE network. no other operator in the world gives that. I would rather wait for 6-9 more month to get a seamless VOLTE network on 2300/1800/850 Mhz instead of latching on it today 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
