How to make Voice Call on Reliance JioFi2
How can we use voice calling in this Reliance MiFi device? Whenever you connect your mobile via wifi and download app called JioJoin (only android for now) from play store it would automatically detect your Sim Card No in MiFi device and you can make calls on that app on your android mobile or tablet connected to MiFi WiFi network. So that app would be phone dialer for sim card No in MiFi device. All calls made via app would show Caller ID as that on MiFi Sim Card while all incoming calls to that MiFi Sim Card would ring the app on phone.
How to connect Reliance Jio network to Desktop Computer
Most laptop have WiFi inbuilt to connect to Jio WiFi but not desktop. To connect to desktop, your phone need something like USB WiFi Adapter if it is already not wifi enabled.
Our Review :
- 1) In small cities and sub-urban, Reliance Jio disappointed lot as it hardly touched 3 Mbps speeds that only sometimes in mid night when very few subscribers were on their network.
- 2) We found that Jio speed at daytime goes upto 2 Mbps and upto 3 Mbps at night after 11 Pm.
- 3) We believe there is lot of scope for improvement and Reliance Jio needs to do its home work well before launching it commercially.
- 4) If you leave the hotspot in one side of the house, you would not pick up the signal at the opposite side.
Note :
- 1) The speed of JioFi depends solely on your location. So if you live close to a Jio Tower, you will be getting good speeds.
- 2) You just need to charge the router and then you can use even without electricity.
- 3) It can connect to desktop Computer via USB cable and acts as a router.
Consideration :
- 1) It cannot be compared to other normal WiFi routers as it is a portable device with a built in antenna. There is no way to extend the WiFI range other than using after market WiFI extenders.
- 2) Reliance Jio 4G is under Beta Release as of now and hence the speed fluctuates from location to location.
- 3) Due to non-commercial release, Reliance Jio does not have the proper channel quota for placing the calls to other operators. Due to this reason the call-drops are very often.
Lot of people in small town are getting only 2.5 mbps downloading speed on Reliance Jio 4G networks slower than BSNL broadband before commercial launch.
Reliance Jiofi2 is best wifi internet option still even under welcome offer. As no provider gives 120GB per month free for 3 months in Rs 1999 which includes Jiofi 2 device. One can later unlock these jiofi mifi devices to use it as 4G modem whenever solution comes out.
