Reliance JIOFI 3 - A data saver and life saver often to some people

Reliance jio offer will be end soon on march1 but , here is some review of JIOFI  hostspot you must know about this ..people who are willing to buy jiofi or facing problem regarding anything

JIOFI hotspot is portable wifi router including jio sim as data source. jiofi hotspot is good and it has a bttery in it so you can take it to anywhere .recently i have seen something in jio that data is not giving as promised .. they say it is 1 gb daily but after 500 mb data will be 128 knps. reliaance jio speed is slow too.

reliance jio announced that after mrach users have to recharge 303 RS every month . and jio will cost 10 rs per 1 gb .it also announced a prime pack .however jio is giving free call and sms but honestly the service will be poor soon . jio is a company worth 1.5 lakh crore . but users are claiming that they are not satisfied using jio .

jiofi hotspot are now also getting poor battery backup , poor network signal and much more issues .
jio welcome offer may be did a big thing in india but if jio servers poor offer like this , and low quality service, people will surely leave jio. also jio is planning to get some revenue.

It's almost the holiday season. (I mean, it's not, but it's close enough. You know those people who put up their Christmas lights before Halloween? We're those people.) That means it's almost time for egg nog, wool sweaters, "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" playing incessantly in malls, actual chestnuts roasting on actual open fires, lights, menorahs, and just non-stop reasons to buy things.

It also means it's time for The Verge's annual holiday gift guide. It's where we try to solve all your wish list woes all at once, to make it easy for you to find the perfect thing for all the people you love. Or just for your Secret Santa at work.

This year, we want you to help us make the perfect gift guide for Verge readers. So tell us what you want! Use the form below to tell us what you're buying, what you're asking for, what you're demanding and incessantly begging family members for. We want any and all recommendations, but especially those things slightly off the beaten path. Think more "this awesome coffee maker I found by accident and love," less "a MacBook Air." Submit as much as you'd like, and if we use your submission, we'll credit you in the guide. We'll also love you forever — and so will everyone who gets awesome gifts this holiday season.

For the last month or so, Scott Kellum — a VR enthusiast and Vox Media's senior front-end designer — has been inviting people over to try out the Oculus Rift. The first time I tried the headset was well over two years ago, and admittedly I haven't used it but once or twice since. So late last week, I re-entered the virtual world by way of an off-white desk chair in the middle of Scott's living room.
