Fix Jio SIM for “No Service, Emergency Calls Only” (Not Working)

Reliance Industries came up with a bang in the telecom sector giving a sheer setback to its peers. The offers, plans and freebies offered by the Jio can make anyone have goosebumps. After its so-called Beta testing phase and preview phase, the Jio is now in stores as commercial launch.

It offers Voice over LTE (VoLTE), high-speed data and other quality services. But with such a wide scale launch there will always be issues with calls, call quality, call drop and network stability.

Reliance Jio Infocomm is said to be world’s biggest startup with over Rs. 1.5 Lakh Crore invested in this mega project. The company has acquired rights for 4G services in all circles of the country.

Of course, it is too early to talk about the success of the project but for sure Jio has created ripples across the telecom sector of this country.

Issue 2. If SIM Recognised & Network Available but No Data

Using MyJio App

If Jio SIM is recognised and the network is also available but data is not working then;

Just simply open the MyJio App and click on first option i.e manage Jio Account and simply click skip sign-in. You can access the unlimited data.

Enter flight mode

Flight mode is the best choice when you wish to have a mini SIM switch off.

When you turn ON the flight mode, the device performs a mini switch OFF cutting the SIM cards from power and then after few seconds when you turn OFF the flight mode, the device will recognise the SIM networks eliminating any signal instability. The internet data will work fine.

Issue 3. If SIM is Not Recognised

Check for Activation

Make sure your SIM is activated. After you have bought the SIM, you will first receive the SMS of document verification on your alternative number followed by another SMS regarding Tela-Verification within a  couple of hours or days.

Ones its done you can insert the SIM in your mobile and enjoy the services. You can contact the Jio on their customer support.

You can call Jio – 1800-88-99999 (Other Operators)

For Jio SIM users – 199 (From Jio SIM)

Reliance Digital – 1800-103-1044

Enable Accessibility Permission

This solution can also fix the issue if you do not see any network;

Download Jio Security from Google Play.

Open the App and grant all the permissions prompted. Scan the phone and change all the apps to trusted if it shows risk with some Apps.

• Turn ON your Location
• Settings –> Accessibility–> Jio Security –> ON

Check the Device Compatibility

Make sure the device is 4G enabled and supports Band 40 (For some states Band 3 and Band 5) for which Jio offers its internet.

If your device doesn’t support the Band owned by Reliance in your state then 4G will not work on your device. Also, remember to use SIM Slot 1 for Jio SIM to catch the network.
