Yet another way to try out the upcoming Reliance Jio 4G service without shelling out lots of money in buying an LYF smartphone or high-end Samsung smartphones.
Reliance Jio will now allow users to directly buy a JioFi 4G MiFi hotspot device without an invite which also comes with Jio 4G preview offer. Priced at Rs 2,899 the JioFi device is available across all Reliance Digital and Dx Mini stores across India.
Earlier, Reliance Jio offered the JioFi device exclusively for HP desktop and laptop users. Under that offer, users were asked to share their HP device details and the company would send a unique referral code. This unique code can be then redeemed at any Reliance Digital store for a JioFi 2 MiFi device along with a free Jio 4G SIM.
As per our sources in Reliance Digital store, the company has now asked the store executives not to ask for the HP specific invite code while selling the JioFi 2 device. Thus the new JioFi 4G MiFi router will be available for purchase by anyone without any sort of invite or referral code starting 12th August 2016.
While going into the specification of the new JioFi 2 MiFi hotspot device, it got the 4G LTE network capability with support for all Reliance Jio 4G bands. You can use the device to connect up to 31 devices at the same time. On a full charge which takes around three hours, the device can last up to six hours. You can also download the JioJoin app on your smartphone to make VoLTE HD voice and video calls.
