How to make Jio calls using JioFi




Share This Post

Reliance Jio launched their Welcome Offer in October this year. As part of the offer, Jio 4G services include lightning-fast internet, along with HD voice and video (VoLTE) calling, free of cost till the end of the year. It’s recommended that you use a VoLTE phone to make the most of the service. If you’re planning on getting aVoLTE phone, we recommend visiting your nearest Reliance Digital or DX mini store.   If you’re still using a 2G, 3G or 4G phone that doesn’t support VoLTE, there’s a solution for that too – JioFi. The JioFi is a portable router that you can carry wherever you go. With a Jio SIM in it, you can enjoy lighting fast internet speeds and also, HD voice and video (VoLTE) calls.

Where to get a Jio SIM and JioFi?

Head down to a Reliance Digital or DX Mini store closest to you. Carry a proof of identity, valid address proof and a passport size photograph. You will need to fill up a simple form. We recommend carrying your Aadhar card for quicker form processing. A Jio SIM card will be handed to you, right after you submit the form back to the staff. If you aren’t using a VoLTE phone, you can also purchase the JioFi. The device is priced at Rs. 1,999*.


Download and configure Jio4GVoice

The next step is to install the SIM card in your JioFi device. Before you can activate your Jio SIM, a confirmation SMS will be sent to you, asking you to tele-verify the application. To make this call, you will need to download and install Jio4GVoice app on your phone using the Google Play Store. Jio4GVoice lets you make HD voice and video calls using the Jio SIM card in the JioFi, or on a phone that uses a 4G LTE phone that doesn’t support VoLTE.

 

Start Jio4GVoice and you’ll be prompted to either insert a SIM card in your phone, or connect to a JioFi device. Click on the JioFi option, which take you to the phone’s Wi-Fi settings. Here, you need to select the SSID of your JioFi device and type in the password. Every JioFi comes with a unique SSID and a password that can be found next to its SIM tray, behind the removable battery. We recommend noting these down before switching the device on.


Activating the Jio SIM card

After connecting the phone to the JioFi device, a five digit OTP will be sent to you existing number. Enter it in the app. After connecting the Jio4GVoice app, you’ll have to run through the process of configuring it. You’ll need to give the app certain permissions.

 

To activate the SIM, open the Jio4GVoice app and tap the dialer icon. Type in ‘1977’ and press the call button. A Jio associate will be online who will ask you to verify your details. Provide the necessary details required for confirmation and the Jio services will be activated on your SIM shortly.


Making audio and video calls using Jio4GVoice

Once the SIM card is activated, you will be able to make HD voice calls from your phone using the Jio4GVoice app. First, start Jio4GVoice and dial the number of the recipient. All your contacts should be visible too.

Video calls can be made in the same manner. Remember that the person you’re calling should also be on the Jio network, using a 4G VoLTE device or Jio4GVoice.

So that’s how you can make VoLTE calls from your non-4G phone. So what are you waiting for? Get your Jio SIM card and JioFi device today and be a part of the Jio experience.
