After the smartphone brand association for the Jio 4G Preview Offer with Samsung phones, Reliance is now offering the same 90-day Jio 4G offer for HP customers who purchase selected HP laptops. The connectivity would be available through the Wi-Fi hotspots from Jio, called as JioFi devices.
What the customer needs to do is register to the HP activation page on Jio.com website and then the invite code would be sent to the email address of the customer. This code has to be produced at the Reliance Digital store to get the free SIM card with three months of Preview Offer that includes free calls, SMS, and data.
“The Jio Preview Offer can be availed only on purchase of LYF powered JioFi device.” is what it says and you will have to purchase a JioFi device, which is priced at Rs. 2899, unlike the Rs. 1999 price that was mentioned when the JioFi device was launched. It is possible that this is a newer JioFi model. For making calls, you will need to use the JioJoin app.
We are contacting both HP and Reliance to find out more about the models that are included in this offer, and whether just like Samsung, the devices already purchased can also be registered to get the Jio Preview Offer.
Recently, there were details about JioLink also leaked out and that was a modem that would strengthen the signals around you, but JioFi is the Wi-Fi hotspot that you can use to share the Internet connectivity with multiple devices around. Also, Reliance has fixed the free SIM glitch that gave several non-LYF phone and non-Samsung phone users a chance to get the Jio 4G Preview Offer for free. Stay tuned until we find more details about the same.
