Here’s everything you should know about the network:
1. Reliance Jio is 4G
The Reliance Jio network runs on 4G - not "mostly 2G, sometimes 3G, and once-in-a-while 4G," Ambani said, criticizing other networks. To access the network, one needs a 4G compatible phone with VoLTE support.
2. 100 percent VoLTE
Reliance Jio is also a cent percent VoLTE network - the largest in the world, according to Ambani. VoLTE is Voice over LTE, by which one can make voice calls over the data network.
3. Jio Services is free till January 1, 2017
While Reliance Jio plans were revealed on Thursday, its services are going to be free for all users till December 31, 2016. Jio's data, voice, and video services along with bunch of applications and content will be available free for everyone. ‘Jio's Welcome Offer’ as Ambani called this, will enable everyone to try Jio without spending a penny.
4. 18,000 cities and 2,00,000 villages
In spite of the fact that Jio's a new network, its reach is already extensive. According to Ambani, Jio’s network already covers 18 thousand cities and towns, and over 2 hundred thousand villages.
5. Cover 90 percent of India by March 2017
Whilst the coverage includes a large number of cities and villages, it doesn't mean that Jio's ascend has completed yet. It still has a long way to go to cover all of India. Ambani also added that the next target is to reach 90% of the population by March 2017.
6. 10 Lakh Wi-Fi hotspots
Reliance Jio is also in the process of rolling out Wi-Fi hotspots across India. By mid-2017, it plans to have 10 Lakh Wi-Fi hotspots across the country. These hotspots will be accessible at schools, institutes, colleges, and other public places.
7. No roaming and free voice calls
Pointing out how network operators only charge for the data while voice and messaging services are essentially free, Ambani said that Jio will not be charging for voice calls.
8. The cheapest data rates in India
Ambani described data as the oxygen of digital and that data must be affordable to all. He also said that Jio will have a base rate which is more than 90% discount over the industry.

9. Bundled entertainment services
Nevertheless, Reliance Jio is going to give free access to its varied Jio apps. The full bundle includes Jio's music streaming platform, its video on demand service, and a live TV service.
10. eKYC for quick SIM activations
Considering how inept the paper-based manual process is to on-board customers, Ambani observed that users had to wait for hours to get the service activated. The process has been reappraised for eKYC. Jio has already started rolling this out in Delhi and Mumbai, and soon any user with an Aadhaar card will be able to get Jio SIM with a working connection in 15 minutes. Ambani also said that they are also planning to extend eKYC activation to users’ doorsteps.
