Introduction

Yes, you can use your LTE handset with Jio. The Jio Sim can be seamlessly integrated into LTE devices, and you can make the most out of its features. My Lenovo K3 Note, which is an LTE device, has been working perfectly with the Jio Sim card. All you need to do is download and use the Jio4GVoice app for calling. No other modifications are required, and everything else works fine.

Understanding LTE Technology

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a wireless communication standard designed for high-speed mobile broadband data networks. It is commonly marketed as 4G due to its ability to deliver data speeds of up to 100 Mbps, which is the minimum requirement for a network to be classified as 4G.

In India, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel hold licenses to deploy their LTE networks on specified bandwidths. Therefore, LTE is the backbone of 4G networks in India. For most devices, the compatibility with LTE networks depends on their ability to work on the specific frequency bands, typically 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz, in India.

Handset Compatibility

All devices that can function on these bands are considered LTE-enabled and can be used with Jio and Airtel's Sim cards. This includes all the devices mentioned in the list above.
