MVP 3 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Are they asking for bill? Don't tell them it is purchased from outside, they are not doing any IMEI checks for finding out if the handset is bought from outside or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

man-saturday 32 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Are there any non-Jio 4G router devices which can support HotSpot-ing from an unlocked Jio Sim? If anyone has been successful, please let us know. And if not a router, which is the cheapest 4G phone (old/new model) that can Hotspot from Jio Sim. Apart from LYF phones, that is. This will be good to know for anyone wanting to use the SIM purely for data connectivity. Please do share. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing is cheaper than JioFi - available for ₹1999.00 with warranty etc. AFAIK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
man-saturday 32 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I was looking for a device which does not work exclusively with Jio Sims so I may use later with other service providers in the future. So was asking for a solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's expensive compared to jio mifi but is not locked like jio mifi to reliance jio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also searching for similar device with Band 3/5/40 along with 3G bands too so that it can be used with any network anywhere irrespective of the type of network availability. Though JioFi unlocking is also expected in future. Edited September 8, 2016 by LTE4G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deepak Shankar 79 Report post Posted September 9, 2016 After confirming if the jio sim can be tried on other mobiles with cc tried it on HTC one M8. Signal strength was poor compared to RN3 at the same if I take it out in open was getting full signal maybe band or phone issues. Data was working fine. But no call went thro tried usual method failed as expected. Tried via jio join it wanted permission to record calls else never even dialled. Once given permission tried calling a few numbers didn't connect saying rich calls can be connected only in jio network. Anyone facing such issues in non VoLTE mobiles?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take the Samsung phone to service center - they will fix it (Hardware issue). I faced similar issue in a 3G handset (Xolo) which used to work properly outside but very low signal inside - tested with all viz. Vodafone, Reliance & MTNL SIM. The network was full in other handset so I took the Xolo handset to the service center and showed them by swapping SIM in two handset. The set was taken and got repaired (motherboard replaced for free). Now that handset is working fine since last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately Jio is not allowing code generation for non Indian mobiles. My HTC had only one signal bar and jio join unable to make calls my suggestion if you have anyone who has a jio sim. Try it in your phone check if everything is fine then proceed to get the simSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead they should take up the challenge and come up with some new offers instead. Every telecom operator is feeling insecure since Jio has much more to offer than just calls and data. Jio has if not re-invented but surely rejuvenated the data regime in India with more innovations for a common mobile user. The Jio App funda is really great. Reason why Jio opted for Multi-Service Operator (MSO) License last year through its subsidiary Reliance Jio Media Pvt Ltd..
