Reliance Jio has finally announced that the beta trial of its 5G services will start from Dussehra (October 5th). The beta services will be available in four cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi.
The company also claims that 5G will provide speed up to 1Gbps. “The Beta trial service for other cities will be announced progressively as cities keep getting ready,” the company said. Plus, customers in these four cities will get a 5G Welcome offer; however, there is a catch as this is limited to a few customers.
For the unaware, the 5G services have been launched by PM Modi at the recently concluded Indian Mobile Congress 2022. Moving to Jio’s Welcome offer details.

The 5G trials will be available in Mumbai, Kolkata, Varanasi, and Mumbai for the customers and this will be done by invitation. The company said that the invitation should have a compatible device and will get 1 Gbps speed.
In addition, the company said that the services will be getting trial services until the coverage will substantially complete, which means that customers will get 5G services until the company will roll out services in the particular area.
“Jio will create nation-first platforms and solutions that will transform skill development, education, healthcare, agriculture, and many such sectors, with the promise of enabling a better life for every Indian,” Akash M Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, said.
“5G cannot remain an exclusive service available to the privileged few or those in our largest cities. It must be available to every citizen, every home, and every business across India. Only then can we dramatically increase productivity, earnings, and living standards across our entire economy, thereby creating a prosperous and inclusive society in our country,” he added.
Furthermore, the company said that the Jio Welcome offer will be upgraded to the True 5G services for free, which means that you don’t have to pay an extra charge for the services. However, customers have to upgrade their SIM or device. This means customers should have a 5G device.
