To recall, Reliance Jio announced the JioPhone back at the company's AGM meeting in July 2017. The effective price of the JioPhone is zero, but Jio is collecting a security deposit of Rs. 1,500 to avoid any misuse of the device.
Recently, the operator also updated the terms and conditions related to JioPhone, which made some purchasers go crazy because Jio says that every customer has to keep recharging the JioPhone with the Rs. 153 plan, otherwise, Jio has the right to return back the device and even penalise the user.
Also, customers can return back the device before the three-year lock-period, but the company will be charging a small amount as penalty. You can read the complete terms and conditions of the JioPhone by heading over here.
