Top 5 Features of FREE Jio Phone 4G & How to Buy Online

Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani today launched a new 4G enabled Jio feature phone in company’s annual general meeting held at Mumbai on 21st July. There were already talks in the tech world about this launch and here it is with a bang! New Jio Phone is said to be one of the most intelligent feature phone with latest technologies embedded in it.


Now before going ahead let’s talk about the pricing of the JioPhone. Jio 4G feature Phone is practically priced Rs. 1500 but you technically you will get it for “FREE”. Yes you read it right, you will own Jio 4G Phone for free of cost and here is the explanation. 



How Jio Phone is Free of Cost?


Reliance Jio is famous for their unexpectedness and this time they announced that the Jio 4G feature phone will come with an “effective” price of Rs 0 (Rupees Zero). But in order to avoid unethical usage, Jio will take 100% refundable security deposit of Rs 1,500 and this amount will be refunded to the customer after 3 years.
Now you must be wondering how Reliance will earn if they are technically giving away it for free?
Here is the catch,
The customer who gets Jio Phone will give Rs. 1,500 initially plus Rs. 153 per month for new plan. Due to such a low cost and high end features it will definitely gather huge customer base and hence every one will be using their phone as well as their mobile network with monthly plans.
