Jio Phone[1] booking process started on Thursday, roughly a month after the company officially unveiled the handset to the world at an event in Mumbai. The 4G feature phone's beta trials started on August 15[2], but those were limited only to select employees of Reliance Jio[3], and not the public. But now with the Jio Phone bookings officially begun via both online and offline channels, prospective buyers can head to offline retail stores, Jio website or MyJio app to place their orders. The start was not smooth though, as the Jio website crashed and MyJio refused to let users place orders[4], though both are working now.

When do Jio Phone bookings start?
Jio Phone bookings will start at 5:30pm on August 24 via the MyJio app, official website[5], and authorised Reliance Jio[6] offline retailers.
