Akash Ambani Announces Jio Bharat Phone to Bring 4G Access to Everyone

Reliance Jio, led by Akash Ambani, has introduced the JioBharat 4G feature phone in an effort to address the long-standing digital divide in India. During the Reliance Industries AGM, Ambani stated that this development will revolutionize the market by granting access to advanced technology for millions of Indians who are still using 2G networks. The JioBharat, which offers affordable access to 4G connectivity, is now on sale starting from August 28th, 2023.

Designed as a game changer, Jio Bharat is all set to give those who still rely on basic 2G phones a seamless transition to the 4G world. Reliance Jio chairman Akash Ambani confirmed that “JioBharat is a way for people who can’t afford smartphones to get digital freedom. It costs about the same as 2G phones but gives you 4G power.”

He added, “As India prepares for 5G, we can’t forget the millions of people who are still stuck with 2G phones. They can’t enjoy the great digital things we do. To bridge this gap and ensure that everything in India can be part of the digital revolution, we have introduced JioBharat. It is a very affordable 4G phone priced at just Rs 999, which is even cheaper than the old 2G phones.
