Jio Phone 2 flash sale today will be held on Jio.com
Jio Phone 2 flash sale will be held today at 12pm IST, giving potential buyers the first chance to snag the handset. However, it is likely the Jio Phone 2 stocks available in the sale are likely to be quite limited in number, thus the flash sale model. The handset has a QWERTY keyboard and runs Kai OS like the model released last year. The Jio Phone 2 price in India, however, is twice as much as that of its predecessor. The official website says those who buy the handset in the Jio Phone 2 flash sale should ideally get the device shipped to them within 5-7 business days. Customers can also pick it up from a nearby authorised retailer.
Jio Phone 2 price in India is Rs. 2,999, and the company is not providing the option a refund like it did with its first 4G feature phone. The handset will only be available to buy via the Jio.com website. If you are looking to buy the handset, it is best to keep refreshing the web page every few minutes a little before 12pm due to heavy traffic. The company is providing the Jio Phone 2 plans priced at Rs. 49, Rs. 99, and Rs. 153.
