New Info: I have contacted customer care about SIM working in Non Lyf phones. I was told SIM may be swapped between LYF handsets but wont work on non Lyf handsets.

Would that mean on actual launch people will need to buy a Lyf phone? or anyone with invite will need to get a new sim. I also heard there were issues with people receiving invites, everyone you invited got their phone?
I purchased the phone yesterday through his invitation. Waiting for the Jio SIM to get activated.

Even I got SIM and LYF Handset but still couldn't use the services yet.
I'm not even able to register on network, the SIM is on my LYF handset since I bought. submitted CAF and other documents still not able to choose IND-JIO 4G from the list. were any of you guys able to get network? which city are you from?
I'm afraid if the name on CAF and on Invite have anything to do with this, I had my full name on my Aadhar and the dealer insisted on using it rather than just firstname-lastname. also did you guys receive any SMS from JIO on the alternate number provided in CAF?

10-15 days is way too much. They said within 5 dsys it will be done.
I dont understand where do I stand though. Number is verified, got sms that I am on some Jio plan etc. Still cant use anything, cause it says I have to sign into network, then says I have exhausted my balance/credit limit. And wont even let the reliance guy do a recharge as I am already on some plan.

Thats the part about this being a "test". From what I have come to know, there are some people who got their phones on Friday and now are activated on some plan which provides them 25GB of data but they are still waiting on the unlimited plan.
From reading some posts on the other broadband forum (aka IBF?) I get the impression you need to keep activating/subscribing to the 25GB plan when it gets over, and the cost is listed at zero rupees, so that's how it's "unlimited" - I don't think there's any unlimited plan itself.
You will need to sign up on My Jio app. All jio apps will use this sign in. if VoLTE is showing on the top and you have network, try calling up customer care by calling 199. They will guide you. You will have to use email provided on CAF or the mobile number you used
First you should receive a message stating the the number is ready for televerifcation on your registered mobile number. After that call up 1977 for the same. After that sign up in My Jio app.[DOUBLEPOST=1462701678][/DOUBLEPOST]
True. We first had 75GB. doing combo 7 recharge (25GB day, 50 GB night, 1500 minutes) after that

Oh! Btw, Whats IBF? One of my colleagues has received this offer. His area only has Airtel stuck at 2mbps for 1k offer for broadband so he got this one. He was talking about some unlimited plan.
@ruiner21, @max_demon @nimod - looking forward to some speed screenshots once you guys are up and running.
I read (on IBF, btw) that someone got the sim to work on their Nexus too. So not really locked but then there could be consequences of doing something like that.
Still would like to try this out, if you have any invites left.

I have got the lyf handset and sim card too. but it is not verified yet as there are some issue from their backend. hopefully by tomorrow activation should be done as per Store manager.
You will get the signals if you insert this sim into other 4G phone but you will not be able to use voice,data or sms. One of the tester tested Jio Sim in iPhone 6. So basically it is IMEI bind i guess.
anyone can check if they insert the 4G sim into their Second slot of lyf phone and test voice and data?
Thanx to Vaibhav for invitation.

.Talked to the CC, and they tell me that I need to create a account for Jio services, and has to be done with my sim only. But whenever I try connecting to any site, I am redirected to employee.jio.com, where it says I have exhausted my balance/credit.
The CC guy had no idea whats wrong, put me on hold for sometime and asked to call me back in a few mins.
Few minutes later, he says he would like me to wait while lodges a complaint, which will be resolved in 48hrs.
So I am waiting now.
Oh and, I tried using the sim with my iphone 6, it has the signal and data also shows, but again, same as lyf handset, I am redirected to employee.jio.com. Cant imagine why it wont work with the iphone once the services are active.
I got the network on both sim slot 1 and 2 and on the iphone, so its not imei bound I guess.
Will update if I have anything new.

I do not understand, even if the sim is not activated it should get network like @cisco_tech, shouldn't it? have you received the SMS yet? I'm under constant paranoia that the network wouldn't work. I have been waiting for jio since 2014.
And what about RCOM 4G? I'm constantly getting SMS on my reliance cdma to upgrade to 4g but thing is this LYF is the only smartphone with LTE band 40 support and I do not plan to get additional phone unless RCOM isn't kidding and shutting down CDMA seriously.

RCOM is shutting down the CDMA network slowly. http://telecomtalk.info/reliance-cdma-4g-upgrade/151437/
Couple of pages ago @swatkats posted a link for the 4G recharges which I think gives a fair idea of circles already in process.
