How to Get and Activate a Reliance Jio SIM

Reliance Jio's entry into the country's already crowded mobile operator market is expected to shake things up, and that's an understatement. With a claim to serve customers with only 4G technology, Reliance Jio tariffs and rollout plans were announced Thursday by Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani at the company's AGM in Mumbai. He unveiled the company's highly-anticipated 4G service with a bouquet of offers and services.

The biggest highlight, which grabbed everyone's eyeballs during the launch, was Reliance Jio's 'free voice calls', even on roaming. Yes, you read that right. Mukesh Ambani revealed that there will be no charges while making calls anywhere in India, and the users will only pay for mobile data.

Until Thursday, the country saw thousands queuing up to get Jio's free SIM with company's 'Jio Preview Offer'. As we mentioned, for now, the Jio SIM was only available to users of a handful of OEMs. Coming this Monday, Reliance Jio will be available to anyone and the SIM will work on all  available handsets that support VoLTE. Under the 'Jio Welcome Offer', all new and existing users are entitled to enjoy free calling, messaging, and data services until December 31.

Getting the Reliance Jio SIM card

Before its official launch, Reliance Jio SIM cards were available at all Reliance-owned Digital Stores, Digital Xpress, and Digital Xpress Mini stores throughout the country. Now that the announcement has been made, Reliance Jio SIM should be available at your neighbourhood telecom store as well. He also introduced eKYC customer verification to activate SIM cards almost instantly when you buy them. You can head to the company website to know where you can get the SIM cards near you.

After you receive the SIM card, you'll be prompted to follow the steps sent by the company to your registered email address. Since the activation and billing process is entirely online, you can get the receipts through your emails and SMS as well. Reliance Jio will also tele-verify your phone number to complete the entire activation and verification process.

To activate VoLTE, the way you make voice calls on the Reliance Jio network, you'll need to make a call on 1977. Tele-verification process will be carried out on the same call. Don't forget to have your Jio SIM purchase bill and other documents ready beforehand.

We hope that you have got a fair bit of idea about how to Get and Activate a Reliance Jio SIM.
