JioPhone Monsoon Hungama Offer goes live; Here’s how to get JioPhone at ₹501

At its Annual General Meeting (AGM) over two weeks ago, telecom operator Reliance Jio launched the JioPhone 2 – successor to the highly popular JioPhone that was launched last year in July. However, alongside launching the JioPhone 2, Jio also announced JioPhone Monsoon Hungama Offer through which you can buy last year’s JioPhone for as low as ₹501. The registrations for JioPhone Monsoon Hungama Offer already kicked-off last weekend, and, starting today, from 5.01 pm onwards, the offer finally goes live in India.

What is JioPhone Monsoon Hungama Offer?

The JioPhone Hungama Offer was announced by Reliance Jio at the company’s AGM two weeks ago. As a part of this offer, you can exchange your old feature phone and get a new JioPhone at ₹501. For those unaware, or have forgotten, the JioPhone is priced at ₹1500. However, this amount is returned to the customers after three years if they return the JioPhone. But, do note that to be eligible to get a refund of this ₹1500, you have to do recharges of a certain amount during the period of three years.

That said, if you exchange your old feature phone, you get the JioPhone for ₹501 instead of ₹1500. And, the good news is that you get that amount of ₹501 back after three years if you return the phone and do recharges of a certain amount.

How to get JioPhone at ₹501?

To get JioPhone at ₹501, all you have to do is head over to the nearest Jio Store, hand over your old feature phone in working condition to the retailer, and of course, pay the amount of ₹501. The new JioPhone will come with a new Jio SIM, however, those who want to retain their current number can port out to Jio’s network as you can only use a Jio SIM inside a JioPhone.
