The major highlight, however, was the free voice calls, even on roaming. Yes, you heard it right. Reliance Jio costs only for data, that means, the voice calls are bundled with the data pack itself.

Reliance Jio is official now and now, every user can get a Reliance Jio SIM card. Before the official launch, Reliance Jio was issued in the company's own Reliance Digital, Digital Xpress, and Digital Mini stores. With the official rollout, users might be able to get the SIM card in the nearest telecom stores as well.


However, the news wasn't confirmed yet. Let's wait for September 5 and see what happens.

Documents Required

Documents Required

At the official announcement, Ambani admitted that the Jio SIM will be issued under the e-KYC activation basis as well, which is the latest and fastest way to activate your SIM card. For the e-KYC activation, you need to carry your original document of Aadhar card and submit it to the store and the SIM card will be activated in 15 minutes within the store itself.


If you don't have the original document of Aadhar card, then you need to carry other documents and the activation process might take up to 24-48 hours.
