All you need to know about the Jio Phone bookings!

Regardless of the fact that which community you belong to, either from the business owner lobby or customer community, the main concern is to know about the Jio Phone bookings.

As we enter into the month of August, Jio Phone will go on beta trails mid-month, however the phone will be available just for a small section of the people.

The Jio Phone device will launch for the masses in September, for both individuals and enterprise users, and even then you will be able to get your hands on it only after pre-booking the device. The Jio Phone booking process will start from August 24, both online and offline.

Similar sort of work was done by the company in the previous year at the time when they started beta trials for the Jio telecom network a few months ahead of its September public rollout.

For Jio Phone bookings online, you can check the MyJio app on August 24. Signing up for updates will also be a good option on the Jio.com website by clicking on Keep Me Posted, and filling the required details.

  • Jio Phone booking with Aadhaar number

To book JioPhone, you will need to submit a copy of your Aadhaar card with the authorised Jio retailer, whether it is a store around the corner or a Reliance Jio outlet. As an individual consumer, you can get only one unit per Aadhaar number across the country, so you will not be able to place orders on different stores in the hopes of getting multiple units. After you submit the Aadhaar number, your details will be uploaded into centralised software that will assign you a token number, which you need to cite while picking up the phone.


  • Jio Phone price

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced at the July 21 event that the JioPhone will effectively be free, with an upfront, refundable security deposit of Rs. 1,500. Now, while making the JioPhone booking offline, you will not have to pay anything when you submit your Aadhaar number. The Rs. 1,500 payment will have to be made only when you pick up the unit assigned to you from the offline retail store. This sum can be reclaimed after 36 months of using the handset, according to Jio.

  • Jio Phone delivery date

The JioPhone delivery date for those who place the order right now will be between September 1 and September 4. This delivery date is expected to swell up as the number of bookings increase over the coming week, so it is best to pre-order the device as soon as possible to get your hands on it earlier. Ambani at the Reliance AGM had only mentioned September as the month of delivery, without specifying any specific date. He had also said the company aims to delivery 5 million units a week to consumers.

It is yet unclear whether the bookings are open at all offline retailers right now, or if it is being opened in phases. We have contacted the JioPhone team for clarification, and will update the story as soon as we get an answer. The online bookings for the handset begin on August 24 via the MyJio app.
