Jio pushes boundaries of both technology and humour with JioJuice

Known for its tempting data pack offers, Reliance Jio took everyone by surprise with the announcement of JioJuice, an innovative technology that will provide wireless charging to your phone.

This is done by inserting the 4G sim card into your smartphone which then charges the phone wirelessly.

"Time to say goodbye to chargers and heavy power banks. Introducing JioJuice," the twitter handle of Reliance Jio said.


The announcement, made through promotional videos and through its twitter and facebook accounts, has received all sorts of reactions with many calling it a revolutionary innovation while others regarding it as just a prank around April Fools day.


The announcement came just after the company extended its Prime offer for another year till March 2019.

Startups are known for pulling pranks around April Fools day. Hospitality startup OYO did it by announcing the token sale of OYO smart coins pitching it as a revolutionary step in the travel and hospitality industry.

The three-day window locked 5,000 registrations and created a buzz on social media. OYO samrt coins remained the top trending topic on Twitter for 4-5 hours.

With JioJuice, Reliance Jio has taken another step in pushing the frontier for both technology as well as humour.
