Reliance Jio has launched its True 5G services in Pune. Users in the city will be invited to the Jio 5G Welcome Offer via the MyJio app. After signing up for the offer, users will get unlimited data with a speed of up to 1 Gbps+ for free. Jio's fifth-generation network is now available in 12 cities, including Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi.
Why does this story matter?
The Mumbai-based telco is the first to offer 5G network in Pune. Recently, the company released its 5G services in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The Jio Welcome offer is a customary practice followed by the telecom company wherever Jio 5G services are offered across the country. Jio is aiming to complete the rollout of 5G services across the country by 2023.
