Ambani said many JioPhone users might like to view their favourite content such as live TV, movies, and education on the big screen of their television sets.

"This is especially true in many remote parts of India where even cable TV and high-speed internet have not reached. Our young Jio engineers have created an innovation to help them — a special and affordable 'JioPhone TV cable' that connects JioPhone with any TV, not just a smart TV, so that all JioPhone users can enjoy viewing on the big screen of their existing television sets," said Ambani. He added that along with this accessory, users can opt for the existing 'Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan' Rs 309 pack that would allow users to watch almost 3-4 hours of video of their choice daily, and that too on a large screen.

The JioPhone TV cable initiative basically allows users to mirror the television content from the JioTV application on to their television sets using a cable to connect the devices. Taking into account 1GB of high-speed data, users will be able to watch their favourite content for a duration of anything between two and four hours. As 4G data speed will come down to 128 kbps after 1GB gets exhausted users will have to top up their data plan for an uninterrupted live TV watching experience.

"In that case, it will become a very expensive proposition especially in areas where cable and DTH subscribers pay between Rs 300 and Rs 500 per month. However, in places where both services are not available, JioPhone TV cable can be a great option as users can then opt for the Rs 309 monthly plan as against the Rs 153 monthly plan as access television content on both the JioPhone as well as their television set," said a senior media industry professional requesting not to be quoted.

There will be less takers for Jio Phone.

Why do you think so ?

 

[IndianMascot]

Bro mention 4hrs of content each day

4 hours of content each day is very less. That what I am trying to say. And I am sure this calculation is only for SD channels.

 

[IndianMascot]

Why do you think so ?

Atleast I am not buying.

Reason:

1. My operator Airtel is already giving free calls.
2. Handset quality is bad and network locked.
3. I doubt the handset is Make in India.

Guys why are you always comparing with what you are getting? You are not the target consumer for this product. First lot of phones will not be made in India and in the last quarter production will start here itself. And to be very clear no phone is made in India. They are only assembled in india. You are comparing handset quality with what? You do not have any other handset to compare this.
