Hello,

I had trouble in enrolling into Jio 5G welcome offer. The message in MyJio app stated that the sim is inserted in a non compatible 5G phone even though the sim was in my Galaxy S22 Ultra (XAA region) factory unlocked phone bought from US.

I enabled all the NR/5G bands as instructed in the XDA developer forum. But still the same message in the MyJio app. Reaching out to Jio customer care also didn't help. I assume Jio doesn't have the US IMEI numbers in their 5G list. That could be the reason for the error.

Anyways, I found a workaround to get Jio 5G working. I thought I will post in the community so that some of you too can try and get enrolled.

I inserted my sim card in one of my friends' 5G phone (bought from India). Once the Jio connection established, I opened the MyJio app (in the same phone) and the error message was gone. I just had to go through a basic checks like location, handset software, setting etc. Once that's completed, I got enrolled into Jio 5G.

I swapped the sim back in my S22 Ultra and 5G started working in the phone. Attaching a screenshot of the speed test I did.

Hope this helps!!

PS: I converted my Jio physical sim card to eSim since I use Airtel as my daily driver. 5G works fine as eSim also as you see in the screenshot.

I have S24 Ultra XAA and i have unlocked all the bands using the method mentioned in XDA, but as my sim is eSim, i'm unable use the above mentioned method, is there a way we can flash INS firmware onto S24U1 ?
