We have noticed that some of the partner smartphones are not getting the "Get Jio SIM" option in the MyJio App. We have reached out to the company for clarification and we'll update readers on this soon. But on the activated SIM cards, the 4G data service is truly impressive. JioOnDemand is a great place to watch HD movies without the need to sign up or pay any subscription fee. There is no question of buffering as the Jio connection takes care of that.
