Impatient fans of Reliance Jio will not have to wait another two months to experience the 4G service, if a new report turns out to be true.
According to it, the company will be opening up its network for testing and feedback to the public this month, but the invites and SIM cards will only be available to those who buy its LYF brand of 4G smartphones.
We had earlier reported that the 4G operator may choose to open up its network to the public using an invite-based system to ensure a smooth scaling up, instead of starting off SIM card sales at one go.
According to the report, Jio will sell LYF branded handsets in 500 cities across India along with bundled 4G connections for its network starting January 14 (Thursday). It will offer “heavily discounted” devices and around 20 GB of free bundled data, the report said.
According to our sources, the company currently has stock of a few lakh units of LYF handsets and these have been shipped to the company’s godowns in various cities starting from November.
Details of 4G tariff to be paid by the subscriber are not clear, but it is likely that these phones will come with substantial (read a few GB) of free data bundled along with them.
