i'm pretty sure that a non imei locked sim can be used in a mifi but not the other way around.

@logistopath the sim comes with the device, but im sure you can refuse to accept it. If not, and they make u take it, im sure you will find many takers for the sim

How is the new jiofi device compared to the jiofi 2 device. Worth the upgrade?
My dealer in Mumbai says it will be available from next week. thanks for the contact @vivek.krishnan

It is ~20% smaller in size. A wee bit thicker. Similar to a key pouch. Won't suggest an upgrade unless you are getting it for free!

I got fed up waiting for the Jio MiFi, have asked Vodafone to give a MiFi dongle - 10GB @ 1000/month.

I bought the MiFi device on Sunday, did the EKYC on Monday, and got an SMS 5 minutes later with my order number.
Nothing after that. But this morning the device connected to the 4G network, and I'm connected to the net. I haven't received an SMS for tele-verification as of yet, but I tried to tele-verify anyway.
However, the IVR told me that I was already tele-verified.
I tried to use the Jio4GVoice app on my phone, but though it detects the SIM, and I get OTP's on my alternate number, it doesn't connect.
I have the new MIFI device with the LED display. It's nice, and it's signal has better range than the LYF phone I was using. It can connect only 10 clients, which is less than the older device, but it's good enough for me.
Speeds and latency is a bit better than the LYF phone as well.

Pune: I am noticing dead slow speeds from last 4-5 days here in East Pune. Not more than 2megs for download and < 6megs for upload. The ping latency is up and even youtube videos cant be streamed properly. Torrents worked fine though 
Looks like the JIO party is over????

Jio employee told me.. but not sure how much is true... Looking at the mittal's response, seems to be true!

Yes....Jio is very slow in Kolkata too (N 24 Pgs)...Even popular youtube video streaming at 240p / 144p and that too with JioFi Dongle sitting almost outside under the sky...
I can't believe - I watched Apple Live Event on 7th in Full 1080p without any Lag with this same connection. Even I don't use my daily 4GB quota everyday.

No.... Voice calls to all networks will always be free for JIO customers.
Its legal and therefore no other operators can pressure JIO.

I reset the device and tried again ... the speeds are back to what I was getting earlier. 8-16megs download and about same upstream.Infact I am getting those data usage messages again on my mobile. Dont remember seeing them for more than a week now. Which means there was some issue in the device settings.
Now its fine.
Anyone knows where I can look to know if there are any firmware updates for the device?

Earlier jio employee told me ₹350 for 20gb data bt in reality its different . ;-)
Ok, l do hope they will continue free calls after Dec 2016....but lets see!
Their chief has announced. That's Mukesh Ambani we are talking about.
He won't go back on his promises.
With TRAI proposing to abolish the interconnect charge itself , where does this issue come in picture.
It's matter of time before IUC is abolished.

I am also seeing a drastic reduction in speed.
100 million users is a huge problem - not enough 4G handsets with the present users. Apparently, only 7% are 4G enabled as of last month.
To overcome this, Jio have already slashed their LYF handset prices. I was talking to a branch manager, they have been told further cuts in handset prices are expected.
Looking at the slow offtake and network / speed issues I expect that the "offer" would continue till March 2017, minimum.
No one in their senses would shift / MNP to Jio given the present interconnect problems. After all, a phone is for making calls, in the first place!
