"The Jio preview offer entitles the user to unlimited HD voice and video calls, SMS and high-speed mobile data for a period of 90 days"
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.
That said, Reliance Jio has once again extended its official trial offers to a wide array of smartphones including some from brands like ASUS, Micromax, and Panasonic, among others. If you've been living under the rock for the past month or so, and you don't know what all this fuss is about, then you've come to right place. The Jio preview offer entitles a user to free unlimited HD voice and video calls, SMS and high-speed data for a period of 90 days. The offer also includes Jio's suite of premium apps, including JioPlay for live TV, JioBeats for music streaming, JioOnDemand for VOD and more.
After the validity of the offer expires, users will be able to switch to a standard commercial plan, details of which haven't been announced yet, but we bet that it will be very affordable. You can check below if your smartphone has made the cut for the offer or not, and then follow these simple steps to be a proud owner of a new Jio SIM complete with the preview offer:
1. Download and open the MyJio App from the Play Store
2. Tap on "Get Jio SIM" on the banner
3. Tap on "Agree & Get Jio Offer"
4. Select your location from the drop-down list
5. Read through the steps and click "Next"
6. Note down the offer code displayed on the screen and also take a screenshot
7. Check the required documents for submission and visit the nearest store

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?
