Till now we had 12 manufacturers already onboard the Reliance Jio offer including Samsung, LG, Asus, Panasonic, YU, Micromax, TCL, Alcatel, Gionee, Karbonn, Lava and Xolo smartphones. So now we have 15 manufacturers excluding Reliance's own Lyf which have the Jio preview offer.

Download and open the MyJio App from the Play Store
Open My Jio (First app listed)

From what we have been hearing, activation is now taking somewhere between 48-72 hours for most people but some are also reporting 5-6 days. If you live in a metropolis, chances are it would take more time for your SIM card to be activated.

Once you receive an SMS confirming that you Jio 4G SIM card has been activated on your alternate number, then you can call 1977 from the Jio SIM to start both Voice and Data services. You can also call 1800-890-1977 toll free number for from your non-jio number to activate data only services. After this activation goes through you can activate voice calling as well.
