JioPhone can now be purchased from Amazon India

Back in July last year, telecom operator Reliance Jio launched the JioPhone in India. The JioPhone is a feature phone that comes with support for 4G VoLTE. Until now, the JioPhone could be purchased from within the MyJio app, from Jio’s website, or, by heading over to a Reliance Jio retail store. However, it can now be purchased from Amazon India as well.

Yes, the JioPhone is now available for purchase on Amazon India at a price of ₹1500. Of course, this amount is a 100% refundable security deposit which is returned to you after three years, provided you do a recharge of ₹153 every month for three years. Well, this makes the JioPhone “effectively free”.
