Jio Phone pre-registration started on August 24 at 5:30PM on both online and offline channels. There were some teething problems in the initial 1 hour and the website, app crashed due to the heavy demand. However, even though the site crashed initially, the consumers could still manage to book JioPhone by paying a refundable amount of Rs 500. Jio has confirmed that they have received millions of booking for the 4G feature phone. Some media reports claim that JioPhone has received approx 3-4 million registrations for "India ka smartphone" aka Jio Phone. Although the number is yet to be confirmed by Jio.
The company at its 40th annual general meeting said that they have a target of making available 5 million JioPhone in a single week. But, not surprisingly, JioPhone pre-booking has exceeded the target. This probably the company also expected. Due to the heavy demand, Reliance Jio on Saturday paused the pre-booking on both online and offline stores. Although Jio didn't officially said that they have paused the pre-booking due to heavy demand but the message that the company posted on its website which reads - "Millions have pre-booked the JioPhone. We will inform you when pre-booking resumes" indicates the same.
