When the JioPhone was announced back in August 2017, it was stated that the device will be available only via the Reliance Digital outlets and the official Jio website for prebooking. Despite this, we saw the JioPhone being listed on third-party websites such as OLX and Amazon India. However, these listings were taken down.

Now, the scenario appears to have changed as one of the major wallet services MobiKwik has joined hands with Reliance Jio in order to sell the JioPhone on its platform. MobiKwik carries the credits for being the first wallet service to sell the JioPhone, claims PTI.

Regarding this partnership, Bikram Bir Singh, MobiKwik Business Head stated, "We are proud to become the first mobile wallet to sell Jio phones in India. Users can book their phone in four easy steps and avail great benefits as well." Having said that, let's take a look at how to book the Reliance JioPhone on MobiKwik from below.
