Reliance Jio SIM Welcome Offer Now Extended to LeEco Smartphones

LeEco on Wednesday announced its partnership with Reliance Jio for the 'Jio Welcome Offer', under which the Reliance Jio SIM card will be available to owners of smartphones made by the Chinese Internet and technology conglomerate. Of course the announcement seems little more than a formality, given anyone can now get a Reliance Jio SIM, provided they can get their hands on one.

LeEco's Le 2 and Le Max 2 users can enjoy VoLTE calls and experience high-definition voice-calling over Reliance Jio's LTE network. The users of first generation smartphones LeEco's Le 1s, Le 1s Eco and Le Max can download the Jio Join app to experience voice calls.
