The internet data will work fine.

Months ago, i went to one of their stores (Perungudi, Chennai) to replace my old sim to a new one. Because with old sim (bought in 2016), i was able to make calls only through my Jio’s dialer on my Honor Bee 2 because of with i was not able to use conferencing or Truecaller. But when i checked the same with my friend’s sim, i was able to make calls with direct phone’s dialer with data enabled!! All i wanted to use was true caller, which was then working with normal dialer on my phone either. So i explained all this to the Perugudi Jio Store guys and they were so lazy that they did not even listen to what i was trying to say and rudely said “Sorry, your phone doesnt have VOLTE facility, we cant help”. So i walked away from their store. PLEASE AVOID JIO AT ALL COST. Comment * Name * Email *
