So here is the thread with all answers regarding JIO free services for 90 days along with LYF handset purchase.

Important Numbers:
JIO helpcare is quick enough https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

JIO Helpcare: 1800-889-9999
JIO Money: 1800 891 9999
LYF Care: 1800-890-9999
Reliance Digital Toll free: 1800-103-1044
Call this no. if your sim is activated: 198 or 199

Q. What quality services i could expect from JIO ???
Their support is damn good.
Call quality is really cool, it was also mentioned by dimers in other threads(JIO mention it as HD Call)
Internet speeds range from 15-23 Mbps indoor and 30-50 Mbps outdoor.
Ping is 50-99ms if tested from reliable Indian servers.
Unlimited data with FUP makes this deal cool.
Free 4G data, unlimited calls, free text….
Other services include free music/movies/HD TV/magazines/news/many more which are available via different different JIO apps…

Q. Is RJIO live in my city ????
RJIO has PAN India licence however it may/may not be there in your area.

You may check the JIO network from other 4G handset with other 4G sim inserted. Just search the network, if you find the option there for RJIO, then yes then RJIO is available in your area.
Or you may call to JIO Helpcare.

Things to Remember!!!

One year warranty is already there however you may extend it to two full years via LYF Care app after entering required details within 15 days.
Extended warranty do not cover for battery, charger or accessories.

After receiving the handset, insert your sim in sim slot 1 and till when sim services/offer isn’t activated, don’t pit another sim in the handset as this may delay the activation of offer as reminded by dimers and confirmed by customer care guy https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

You may purchase LYF handset along with free JIO sim from nearest Reliance digital store. See the image below for supported stores.

Reliance Store locator >> http://www.reliancedigital.in/store_locator.htm...

Don’t purchase it online as you may not receive the sim and free services.

You may pay @ Reliance stores with Reliance digital gift card however do ask the store manager before purchasing and billing whether he has proper systems to redeem the voucher.

Q. What is the the cost ????
Below prices includes everything right from taxes to sim cost https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Flame Series(Economical Option)

Flame 1 >> Rs.4999 (1GB RAM, 4.5 inch display)
Flame 2 >> Rs.3499(1GB RAM, 4 inch display)
Flame 3/4/5/6 >> Rs.2999(512 MB RAM, 4 inch display, no playstore on flame 6)

Refer for specifications >> https://www.mylyf.com/flame-smartphones-coll...on

I am not listing other series but you may find links below with their price range.

WIND (Rs.5999-6899)
https://www.mylyf.com/wind-smartphones-coll...on

EARTH(Rs.19499-19999)

http://www.reliancedigital.in/mobiles/smart-pho...

Q. What free services attached with JIO ???

You will get free JIO sim bundled with promotional offer for 90 days from date of activation.
Promotion offer includes free calls/text/data for 90 days, yes everything free .

Within 24 hours your sim would be activated.
You will get two SMS/message on your alternate no. which you provided in the CAF form regarding SIM activation.
After you get the second message that sim is ready to be used and asking you to complete tele verification, you will start receiving JIO network on your JIO/LYF phone/sim. Do the tele-verification as told(entering last 4 digits of AADHAR Card No.)

After this your 90 days promo would be activated within 15 minutes or max 6 hours. It took 15 minutes in my case after i told JIO Care to get this activated as soon as possible.
You will also get FRC messages on JIO after unlimited offer is activated. In my case they did two FRC’s, one for 100 calls/messages and 2GB data and second with everything unlimited.

You can verify the same either by MyJIO app signup >> signin >> there you would see the offer.
Or you may call 199 from JIO phone, they will assist for that.

Q. Can we connect other devices with hotspot and free JIO Network data ???
Yes hotspot works smoothly with upto max eight users simultaneously https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Q. 90 Days unlimited promo is for everyone or restricted to some users ???
Well JIO officially says you have to get an invite code from https://www.ji...m/
You will receive an email along with invite code within 15-30 minutes.
Take a printout of this email and present it before store manager while purchasing handset.

Some store managers though do not ask for invite code.
I confirmed with JIO about this issue to be on safe side, they said officially there there is no notice/information about this. They said if store manager claims this they you would definitely get the promo. On a safer side do present the invite code as getting an invite code is one minute work.

Also some managers claim that free data is restricted to 75 GB which isn’t true. Data is truly unlimited https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Q. What other services i would receive along with Free Call/Text/Data ???
There are many premium apps from JIO which are free for 90 days like JIO Play for HD Live TV, JIO Mags for magazine and other. You may see all the apps in MyJIO App drawer/folder around 8-10 apps….
You can watch live TV, watch latest movies, latest magazines, local news, use JIO money…….

The login details which you created for MyJIO app would be valid across all apps except for JIO Money.

JIO Money app would provide Rs.15000 worth of coupons….

Q. Which phone/handset is recommended ???

Flame 2 is good because it offers 1GB RAM as compared to 512MB RAM in Flame 3/4/5/6.
Flame 2 is priced @ Rs.3499 for limited time after price cut.
If you have more budget shift to another series and plan accordingly.

Q. What comes with box ???
Along with handset and JIO sim, data cable, charger, earphone, screen protector and JIO guide would be there.

Q. Can i use different sim in LYF handset ???
Yes you can, infact its a dual sim phone and is unlocked to be used with any sim.
However before sim activation and offer being activated, don’t put any other sim as this may delay/lapse the 90 days promo offer.

Q. Getting slow speed ???
Try this hack, this may/may not be worthy:

Only for flame 2 users as it uses Mediatek processor
First dial star#star#3646633#star#star
Then select band mode then select sim 1(if u inserted jio in sim1)>band mode>unchek band 3&5>set
Check speed [Credit @Deals4U]

More Information

Here is Antutu score for LYF Flame 2:
As the graphics are poor on Flame 2 so Antutu score was high, more than Xiaomi Redmi 1S https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Speedtests & some hacks https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/261582/medium/3468839image.png?1480960522
Image above: All speedtests were on Band 40

Increase your internet speed by choosing Band 40 by following the trick mentioned above.

Personal observations

Band 40 gives more speed(above 20Mbps) but high pings and
Band 3 & 5 gives slow speed(less than 15 Mbps) but low pings https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Though they know that you are RN3 but you don’t need to tell them that you are using it on RN3. I m not too hopeful regarding speeds getting increased rather i expect it to downgrade once the traffic increases after 15th August. Regarding Tele Verification i don’t know what’s the issue. I too received the SMS few days back but when i called them for Tele Verification it said that i m already tele verified.

@DealSeeker bro, Let me check, there was another method which was used previously by others. Right now on app, will let you know via PM if i come across it in the night.

I too consume a lot of bandwidth if i am free/on a holiday. Usually i download a lot of Korean, Chinese, English TV Series and Movies of all genres in any language which appeal to me and a lot of Games. Just 2 days back downloaded GTA V which was around 65gb file size and Counter strike Global offensive new version. I am not exactly sure but i have definitely crossed 1.5TB.

PS – Another torrent site bites the dust, Torrentz.eu has been shut down by its owners. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif CC: @hese

hey bro can u give that GTA v link

I talked to one of their customer care staff , he told that he didn’t know any about this closing of preview offer and even no official intimation of 15th august officially, so he said this offer will continue even after 15..

Is there a way to use JioJoin on other phones which are connected to lyf phone’s hotspot? If it’s possible with a mifi device, I think it can be done with lyf phones too.
