"It will not charge anything additional for this supreme service where the subscriber's Jio number doubles up and works on both the devices - the iPhone and the Apple Watch, providing the true freedom of cellular. The Jio user can continue to be on any of the existing Jio plans," Reliance Jio said in a statement.

 

"Jio is extending this benefit for both its prepaid and postpaid subscribers," the telco added. "Anyone who pre-books the Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular with a Jio connection, will not only be the first one to get the watch (limited stocks available), but will also have the option to get a priority home delivery, where the watch and the Jio service (including Mobile Number Portability) will be home delivered, and setup for Jio valued customers."

The telecom operator is also providing 24×7 platinum care center to resolve all customer queries. Airtel, on the other hand, said its postpaid customers on any Airtel My Plan or Infinity Plan can get connected to the Apple Watch Series 3 absolutely free of cost with their existing plan.
