Method 1: Mediatek Processor Only
Before using this method, check your mobile device specs to see whether it has a MediaTek chipset or not. Android version 4.4 or above will be preferred; check your Android version; if that doesn’t work, try restarting your mobile 1-2 times by clearing the cache.
Checking Device for Mediatek or Qualcomm Processor:
- First, Download the CPU-Z app from Playstore
- Install and open this app.
- Wait while it retrieves your device information.
- Within a few seconds, you will see all your device information on the screen.
- If your device is using Mediatek Chipset, then it will reflect the logo of Mediatek Chipset on the screen.
Suggestion: You need to activate your SIM before doing this process; if your Jio SIM isn’t activated, check out the process from this article. Follow the following steps for a 4G experience.
- First, download & install the MTK Engineering Mode app on your 3G mobile device.
- This application will allow you to run an advanced Setup from the Engineering mode menu of MTK phones, which is also called Service Mode.
- Open the installed app, or dial your mobile device-specific code for Engineering Mode.
- Click on the MTK Settings and select the “Preferred Network” option.
- Now you can select 4G LTE/WCDMA/GSM as network mode, and you can save it and turn it off on your mobile device.
- Once you are done with the above steps, shut down the device
- Insert your Reliance Jio 4G SIM in 1st slot and keep the 2nd slot empty.
- Switch on the device, and then you will see the Jio SIM network.
Holla!! Within 10 minutes, you will now get the Jio network, but you will not get the 4G speed; still, you will get 3G speed, which is also better. If you got another device or the above method isn’t working, go with this process for Reliance Jio 4G SIM in 3G Phone trick.

I am using samsung galaxy note 3 neo which is LTE phone.Will jio run on my device.
I generated the barcode over a 3G device I use(Samsung S3) and got the jio sim, showing them a friend’s S6!
Eventually a day after, I got a text message on my alternative number saying my jio sim is ready for activation.. Call1977 bolke!
Now the question I have is, can I call 1977 from my S3?(it doesn’t have 4G) to activate the sim?
Or can I use any other 4G phone to activate it?
I tried calling from the S3!
It says, not registered on network!
I tried to manually select the network but then it says, it sim doesn’t allow this connection!
Can you please help me with regards to this issue!?
Hey smith, as far as I remember 1977 can only enable voice calls, for both internet connection you can call the other toll free number which is 1800-890-1977 from your registered number. This will enable your data connection you can even try from yous S3 too.
I tried!
It’s the same error that pops up saying “not registered on the network” ; it doesn’t even let me place the call…
Hey Smith May I know how you registered to the Jio sim I mean by showing your s6 friends IMEI number right..?
Nope… Not exactly!
I showed him the phone just for the sake of it!
But I already installed the my jio app on my s3 and generated the code and took the screenshot and showed it from the s6!
So technically, even if my IMEI was captured,, it should have been the S3’s itself!
