Jio4GVoice app rebranded to JioCall, enables setup for Jio GigaFiber calling on smartphones

Jio seems to be working towards a commercial roll-out of its fixed line internet service called Jio GigaFiber. While the service is under testing in some regions, there is no word yet on when it will be widely available for everyone. While there are rumours and reports all over the internet about the details of when the fiber-based internet service will be made available, it seems that the company itself is making preparations for the launch. Jio has updated its Jio4GVoice app that enables non-VoLTE smartphones to make calls over the Jio 4G network and it is now rebranded to JioCall. While the app was updated a while back, a new feature tipping at the upcoming GigaFiber service has been spotted in its changelog on the Google Play Store. 

While the new JioCall app sports a completely revamped User Interface, it still offers core functionalities like making VoLTE voice and video calls on 2G, 3G and 4G smartphones, provided you use a Jio SIM card. What’s new is the option to setup your Jio GigaFiber connection on your handset to enable video and audio calling. One will need to set up a new configuration on the app by selecting the option called ‘Fixed’ when the app boots up. They need to enter their 10 digit Jio GigaFiber fixed line number on the app. The feature apparently doesn’t even require a Jio SIM to work. 

While this development was recently noticed, a previous report tipped that Jio is planning to offer bundled internet, calling and IPTV services. The revamped new app and the feature to connect it with the company’s fixed line internet service does suggest the same. As per a previous report, the combo service might be offered at Rs 600 per month and the landline and TV services could be added to existing connections in the next three months. The service is touted to remain free for a year, until it is commercially rolled out. You can read more about it here.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
