Reliance Jio 4G Phone की ये खबर सुनकर चौंक जाएगे आप | बनाया दुनिया में रिकॉर्ड |

Reliance Jio is planning to start deliveries of the JioPhone during Navratri, reports PTI. The news agency cites a channel partner of Reliance Retail saying that the deliveries will begin from September 21. The JioPhone was announced at Reliance Industries' AGM on July 21 as an effort to convert nearly 500 million feature phone users into 4G subscribers.

The pre-bookings for the handset began on August 24 and the company is said to have received around 6 million pre-bookings during the three day period. The pre-bookings were marred by a sluggish response from the MyJio app and server issues, leading to slow load time of Jio's website. The pre-booking was consequently suspended due to an overwhelming response and reliance jio announced that pre-bookings will become available once again at a later stage. The report suggests that the JioPhone has over 10 million customers interested.

The 4G feature phone was made available for pre-order against an online payment of Rs 500 and an additional payment of Rs 1,000 at the time of delivery. The handset is priced at Rs 1,500, but Jio will refund the amount after 36 months, making the device effectively free to consumers. At the RIL AGM, Mukesh Ambani had said that reliance jio plans to make 5 million units of JioPhone available every week when it goes on sale.
