Reliance is pushing its Jio 4G even before its official launch in the country. The Ambani-owned telecom network is available to consumers across the country in the form of Jio Preview that offers 90 days of free data and voice calls (across all networks and even on roaming).

Initially, Jio 4G was only available to those who bought the company’s branded Lyf phones, which start from as low as Rs 2,999. But after partnering with Samsung and offering its JioFi mobile router, there are now more people eligible for the preview offer. The list just keeps getting bigger by the day.
