How to Use Reliance Jio 4G SIM on 3G Phone:

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.

Hello Shravan
First of all thank you very much for all this help to the people and making them smile for free. You are earning great Karma.
Sorry for posting this at wrong place, but due to slow Internet I thought to write my question down in reply section, knowing that it is inappropriate.
Now coming to my point, I have Samsung s3 neo phone and I tried second method but it seem very complicated to me. The reason is when I downloaded the app, I don’t see three vertices dots. But when I open the manu button by tapping and holding on it in the app. In this menu it doesn’t have Service menu or Engineering Mode. It has search option in menu and while searching from the apps I could not found any of those two options.
Talking about the code I tried the code from dial pad and nothing happens.
I can provide you the screen shots if that can help you for me.
I would appreciate your reply to me via email for quick solution. My email address is dipak.rajpurohit@gmail.com
Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks a ton in advance
