Not able to make calls on Jio SIM? Solution (including Jio4GVoice app)

You got a Jio SIM after some good struggle at the store where getting the card is not easy these days, but most of the users who even though have a 4G phone are facing a problem of making calls on their Jio number. What could be the issue? Well, there are some different reasons for the same. In the guide below, we discuss about the same and the possible solutions to make calls on Jio SIM.

Before that, if you are still struggling to get the SIM, you are not alone. Also, read the Jio Welcome Offer guide to know what are the limitations and what you are getting as a part of the offer that ends on December 31st, 2016.

Jio SIM call fail issue – Possible reasons and fixes

Phone doesn’t have VoLTE

jio-4g-voice-appThis is one of the most common reasons and this is not actually an issue because if the feature is missing in the phone, you simply cannot make calls on your Jio 4G SIM. Just having 4G LTE connectivity on the phone is enough to get data connectivity but for making calls, there’s Voice-over-LTE that is needed.

What’s VoLTE? This is a feature that allows calls over data network. The way data is sent is different and uses a different technology, that is the reason the phone needs to have that feature available, otherwise calling won’t be possible, unless you try any specific workaround for it.

Download the JioJoin or Jio 4G Voice app from here.

Solution if phone doesn’t have VoLTE:

Reliance Jio has a good solution for this. The app named Jio4GVoice (earlier named as JioJoin) is the one you have to use to make calls if you are not able to directly make calls on the Phone app. The app is exclusively made for Jio SIM and Jio network users and it makes it possible to make HD voice and video calls.

To check if your phone has VoLTE, check the list of VoLTE enabled phones for Jio.

Data network isn’t turned on

This is again dependent on the phone you have. If the phone is VoLTE enabled, you need to check the below settings but if you have a non-VoLTE phone, then it is probably that you have the data turned off. For a phone where you are using the Jio4GVoice app, you won’t be able to make calls if you don’t have the data service activated.

Solution: Keep the data connection active on your phone. Only then the calls will go through, because the calls take data as the source for sending the message across, unlike the standard calling that doesn’t have anything to do with data.

Televerification hasn’t happened

Don’t be confident that your Jio SIM is verified already if you had made a call for it and had got the verification done. Jio verification is separate for data and calls. So, if you are sure that your phone has VoLTE and still the calls are not happening, the non-verification might be a reason.

Solution – Tele-verify your Jio number for calls:

You need to call 1977 for the tele verification. If you had earlier dialled 1800-890-1977, that was only for the data activation and now you will have to dial 1977, or you can actually dial any phone number because it will take you to the Jio verification service and you will be asked to enter the details based on the proof you had provided.

Calls say network busy

If you see this as a problem, with some message saying “All lines in this route are busy” or something similar to this, it is a problem with the other network providers and not with Jio. It is the disagreement to give Jio the interconnect points that are necessary for the call to connect. According to the leading telecom providers, i.e. Airtel, Idea, Vodafone, etc. every call that a receiver is getting, has a charge that the call initiating network has to pay.

Jio is not paying that because according to Reliance, Jio is an IP based network and the calls are made on the Internet. The issue is still on right now and the networks have not yet patched up together.

Solution – Patience, waiting

This is what you can do right now because the network operators have to come to a proper agreement and only then the calls will be successfully happening without a problem. In this case, you cannot do anything from your side because this is with the end network. WhatsApp calling or any alternative till then? You are on a Preview / Welcome offer and have good data to use anyway, right?

  1. Sir my sim card are activated but my phone no any voice call if any other phone . When we want to other people calling but connection is immediately disconnected .
    I request the jio team my calling problem has been started .

    1. i have a problem in my jio sim that i cannot make an outgoing calls nor incoming calls come when i call any no. the call disconnected automatically when somebody calls my no. the no. is not answered tells the system plz help me

  2. Hii,
    I am using Jio Sim. My phone is LTE . I am install is Jio4GVoice App from play store. Allow all fields, but i am unable to move next step after where come display ” Jio Sim Configure Jio4GVoice using the number of the SIM in this Phone” . And When I am connect the call this time connection is immediately disconnected .

    1. 1. For all those who have got Jio sim from any Reliance Digital/Xpress/Mini etc. and if they have gone through e-KYC, their numbers get activated automatically without any Tele-Verification.

      2. First of all, insert your Jio sim in SIM SLOT -1. In your phone, go to “settings –> SIM Cards –> select “Jio 4G”” under “Preferred SIM for cellular data”.

      3. Then, again go to “settings –>Cellular networks”. You can see the Cellular network settings for SIM 1 and SIM 2. As you have inserted Jio sim in SIM SLOT 1, you’ll be able to see “Jio 4G” column under which there’s an option called “Preferred network type”. Select “LTE”or “4G” or whatever relevant option is displayed on your phones.

      4. Reboot your phone. Now, there’s a strong possibility that your phone will be receiving Jio 4G signal.

      5. For most of the Jio users, the access point for Jio sim is not automatically configured. In order to manually configure an access point, go to “Settings –> Cellular networks –> Access Point Names”.

      6. Now, it’s time to create a new access point. select “Add a new APN” or “new APN” or any relevant option on your phones.

      7. Just manually enter the settings exactly as shown below:
      –>Name: JioNET
      –>APN: jionet
      –>Proxy : Not set
      –>Port : Not set
      –>Username : Not set
      –>Password : Not set

      (Skip the other options. Scroll down.. You’ll be able to see an option: “APN type”)
      –>APN type: default (Type manually)

      (Scroll down.. Now you’ll find “Bearer”)
      –> Bearer: LTE (Select LTE/4G etc. any relevant option)

      It’s done. Now save the settings and select this newly configured access point.

      8. Switch on the mobile data. Now, you can use Jio sim.
      9. Make sure that you have installed “Jio4GVoice” or “JioJoin”
      10. You can make calls or send messages ONLY by using “Jio4GVoice” or “JioJoin”. This is for 4G-only phones. For VOLTE phones, this isn’t the case. They can use normal dialer in their phones to make calls. The Mobile Data must be “ON” at all times.

      11. Install all the Jio apps to avail the welcome offer. However, we are now restricted to use only 4GB data per day. But, unlimited voice calls and messages.

  3. Sir ji, maine 1977 pe verification kara liya, internet is working very good n fast but my issue is without net mai kisi ko call ya sms nahi kar pa raha hoon na hi mere jio no pe call aa raha hai.. without net n jio4Gvoice mai kaise use karu call or sms?

  4. Iam noot able to make calls with any other networks with jio even a after downloading the jio4g voice app.why??

  5. 1. For all those who have got Jio sim from any Reliance Digital/Xpress/Mini etc. and if they have gone through e-KYC, their numbers get activated automatically without any Tele-Verification. These customers need not wait for Tele-Verification message or any intimation from Jio customer care about the SIM activation. I have observed that many of them are NOT receiving Jio network signal after inserting the SIM, thinking that only after the activation, they’ll be receiving network signal from JIO. What they are thinking is very wrong !
    However, Jio has to be blamed for not letting the customers know about the phone settings in advance.

    2. First of all, insert your Jio sim in SIM SLOT -1. In your phone, go to “settings –> SIM Cards –> select “Jio 4G”” under “Preferred SIM for cellular data”.

    3. Then, again go to “settings –>Cellular networks”. You can see the Cellular network settings for SIM 1 and SIM 2. As you have inserted Jio sim in SIM SLOT 1, you’ll be able to see “Jio 4G” column under which there’s an option called “Preferred network type”. Select “LTE”or “4G” or whatever relevant option is displayed on your phones.

    4. Reboot your phone. Now, there’s a strong possibility that your phone will be receiving Jio 4G network signal.

    5. For most of the Jio users, the access point for Jio sim is not automatically configured. In order to manually configure an access point, go to “Settings –> Cellular networks –> Access Point Names”.

    6. Now, it’s time to create a new access point. select “Add a new APN” or “new APN” or any relevant option on your phones.

    7. Just manually enter the settings exactly as shown below:
    –>Name: JioNET
    –>APN: jionet

    (Skip the other options. Scroll down.. You’ll be able to see an option: “APN type”)
    –>APN type: default (Type it manually)

    (Scroll down.. Now you’ll find “Bearer”)
    –> Bearer: LTE (Select LTE/4G etc. any relevant option)

    It’s done. Now save the settings and select this newly configured access point (VERY IMPORTANT).

    8. Switch on the mobile data. Now, you can browse internet, make calls and send messages. (Make sure the preferred network for using mobile internet is “Jio 4G” in settings).

    9. Make sure that you have installed “Jio4GVoice” or “JioJoin”.

    10. You can make calls or send messages ONLY by using “Jio4GVoice” or “JioJoin”. This is for 4G-ONLY phones. For VO-LTE phones, this isn’t the case. They can use normal dialer in their phones to make calls. The Mobile Data must be “ON” at all times.

    11. Install all the Jio apps to avail the welcome offer. However, we are now restricted to use only 4GB data per day. But, we have unlimited voice calls and messages.

    NOTE/REMINDER:
    For those who have gone through eKYC (i.e, giving finger prints and Aadhar Card number in any Reliance digital stores while obtaining Jio sim.) need not wait for Tele-Verification. The sim gets activated very quickly. But, those who have NOT gone through eKYC (i.e, submitting passport-size photos and xerox copies of Aadhar Card in any Reliance digital stores while obtaining Jio sim) should wait for Tele-Verification message from Jio customer care, then dial 1977 and verify your identity, only after which the sim gets activated.

    I hope these settings help everyone here.

    1. I got jiosim along with vivo y51l.It is activated. The store personnel helped me get the sim activated through ekyc.jiosim is sim1 and the parameters are also set. but I am not able to make any voice call.call ended msg is displayed.jio4gvoice is installed but audio and video buttons are not active only chat is active this button is green.

    1. Go to payments.google.com and login the account you have logged on in your mobile. First change the payment method to the local credit or debit card. And change the address to the local address and make the address default and delete all other addresses if you have entered any. Once you will change the default address to local address i am sure it will work. I spent a good amount of time to find this. Hope it will work for you.

  34. This is only where your internet is working but still the JIO4GVoice APP shows that it can’t detect the sim, in the notification bar

    1)Go to settings, Apps, Search for Jio4gVoice, and click Force Stop.
    2)Once done, go back to app drawer and start the app.

    It should work.

  35. I am using jio sim. My phone is volte of GIONEE for 103.. Jio sim problem is not volte no incoming call and outgoing. But net I’d working

  38. Jio is making us fool. Those sim wud work perfectly is lyf and official jio phones but not in our branded ones.

    If the above methods as suggested by all do not work for you then Backup your photos, contacts and sms and factory reset your phone ( with your jio 4g sim inside your sim 1 slot during the whole process ). Whole process takes only 5 mins. It works for me everytime!!! 🙂
