Jio 5G service is now available in India and Reliance Jio is initially rolling it out in select cities. The telecom company has officially announced that Jio 5G will be rolled out in four cities, starting today
The company has launched a Jio 5G Welcome offer, which is basically an invitation. Reliance Jio will randomly send an invite to customers and not everyone will get it. But, why is Jio doing this? This is just a beta test, which is why Reliance Jio is opting for the invitation system. Once everything goes smoothly, the 5G network will likely be made available to everyone.
There is no way to get an invitation from anywhere and customers will be randomly selected by the company, Reliance Jio told India Today Tech. Jio also asserted that those who will get exclusive access to 5G services will get notified via SMS and other platforms.
Since this is just a beta test and not a commercial launch, Reliance Jio is offering 5G in only four cities. The Jio 5G service is now available in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi. The telco has plans to spread it more cities in the coming months.
No, you don't need to do that. Reliance Jio has confirmed that customers don't need to change their existing Jio SIM or 5G handset to access the latest and fastest network in India.
Reliance Jio is yet to announce 5G Jio plan prices in India. But, Ambani has announced that Jio 5G plans will be available to users at the lowest prices compared to any telecom in the world. So, Jio users don't need to worry about this, considering they will be able to use the 5G network without paying a premium price.
