There is a lot of confusion about this Reliance Jio sim. It looks like the Reliance industries has brought the credibility of PM Modi on to the roads. They used him for the advertisements. Now people dont get Jio sims. Who ever got they do not know when they are going to function.
The customers are turning up at Reliance’s stores, just to be turned away because there are no Jio 4G SIM cards to be found. People are standing in lines, holding coupons that the stores handed out a day in advance, only to be turned away disappointed.In the mean time the BSNL has introduced some other package similar to Jio and now people are looking at it. But that is for three month and what after 3 months.
Customers have made repeated trips, only to be told to come back in two to three days. They go home, and come back again only to be told the same thing all over again. More than one customer told Gadgets 360 that they had been told by the store staff to come back the next day, on multiple visits, with no explanation about what’s going on, and no realistic timeline on when more Jio SIM cards will be available.
The only thing that’s clear is that there are no Reliance Jio SIM cards – whether it’s because the demand is higher than Jio expected, or because it’s trying to scale up the number of users on its network in a controlled manner. Unfortunately, there’s simply no official word, which is causing a lot of confusion.
“Why they’re not coming we also don’t know,” says one store manager. “Our seniors also know that there is a crowd everywhere. But we haven’t been told why more [SIMs] aren’t coming.” A lack of communication is one of the areas where Reliance runs the risk of losing the goodwill it’s build up now, so it’s disappointing, if not entirely surprising, to see the situation on ground right now.
Reliance when it started mobile phones also gave 6 months free usage and later it hired goondas for recovery which was very unfortunate. We have wait and see what happens to this Jio finally. Will it be Jio (Live )or Maro(die).
