Reliance Jio may offer part refund for JioPhone before 3-year lock-in - ET Telecom

assuming that registrations have begun... anyone here applied for it?

a lot of us were going to apply but then they said 500mb/per day and everyone said screw that

 

[Sushubh]

i am sure a lot of people are interested in it just for calling alone. i am waiting for initial feedback to apply one for myself. though aadhaar requirement would make it tough to get it in my name.

so how is this going to work? you pay an advance and get in a queue? you are informed when a unit allocated to you is in stock at your local retailer?

 

[Deep Saha]

@Sushubh yep.. Its just advance payment for token no like queue .. per retailers can book upto 80 units and per customer can book 1 unit I guess then sept 1week acc to serial no you will be getting message that your mobile arrived to a store sspecified in the pin code entered.m visit that store pay rest 1000rs and get mobile

cool. remains to be seen how reliance would fuck this up. if getting refund would be possible and how. assuming no one has actually used the phone to see if it is even usable.
