Update 2 (Aug 30th): Article updated with more partnerships.

Update 1 (Aug 29th): Reliance has announced partnerships with more smartphone companies, and the article has been updated accordingly.

Reliance Jio has taken the telecom industry by storm with its aggressive and very interesting trials in the recent times. After extending the preview offer to select Samsung smartphones, and then later to select LG smartphones as well, it was reported that anyone with a 4G SIM could avail the free SIM and the preview offer. However, this offer is not yet official, and hence only some stores are issuing the SIM for any 4G-capable smartphone.

Apart from the aforementioned devices, you can also get the Jio Preview offer on all LYF branded handsets as well as with the JioFi device. It’s worth noting that reports point out that the Jio offer may be valid for up to one year on the purchase of the LYF handset rather than the usual 90 days. It’s quite evident that Reliance has covered a major chunk of the 4G audience in its trials. 

Now all that is left to see is the commercial launch of services from the company, and we’re waiting eagerly. What about you?
