As the responses are so overwhelming, Reliance Jio has blocked the booking for its ultra-budget JioPhone.
The Indian telecom giant is sending a message to all its Jio customers indirectly saying that the bookings are closed. It also says that ‘millions’ have already booked the JioPhone.
“Thank You, India! Millions have pre-booked the JioPhone. We’ll inform you when pre-booking resumes,” says the text message with a link from where interested users can register the device.
It is worth adding that the JioPhone went for pre-bookings recently. Users had the option to pre-booked the feature phone at Reliance Digital Stores as well as at other company-authorised stores.
Reliance, at the time of introducing the device, also said that users could book the handset using the MyJio app. However, several of them were not able to find the option inside the app yesterday (August 25).
The JioPhone is effectively priced at Rs 0, however, customers need to pay Rs 1500 as the security deposit for the phone. This security deposit is refundable. However, users will get the same after a minimum period of three years.
