1. What’s New: JioFind & JioFind Pro
- Reliance jio has launched two wireless GPS trackers in India: JioFind and the beefed-up JioFind Pro.
- They are part of the “JioFind Series,” aimed at tracking vehicles, luggage, school bags, or any mobile asset.
2. Single-Number Connectivity = No Extra SIM Hassle
- Both trackers use Jio’s number-sharing technology, meaning the device shares the same jio mobile number and data plan as your smartphone. No need for a separate SIM or subscription.
- Up to five JioFind devices can be linked to a single jio number via the JioThings app.
3. Battery & Durability: Pick Based on Need
Device
Battery Capacity
Typical Usage / Battery Life
JioFind
1,100 mAh
About 3–4 days on a single charge. Good for lighter / everyday use (bags, small items).
JioFind Pro
10,000 mAh
Much more powerful — roughly 3–4 weeks of use. Ideal for vehicles, long trips, or less frequent charging.
- The Pro version also includes a magnetic mount to make vehicle attachment easier; the standard doesn’t.
4. Smart Tracking & Alerts
- Real-time tracking across all of India, including highways and remote areas. Even if state borders are crossed, tracking remains seamless.
- Alerts & features include:
- Geofencing: Set up to 5 safe zones; get notified if the tracker enters or exits these areas.
- Overspeed and low battery alerts.
- Ambient voice monitoring: Listen around the device, record short audio clips. Helpful in security-sensitive scenarios.
5. Price, Warranty & Subscription
- Price:
- JioFind: ₹ 1,499
- JioFind Pro: ₹ 2,499
- First Year Free of service; from second year onwards ₹ 599/year for continued subscription.
- Warranty: 1 year. Device locked to Jio's network — can’t use with non-Jio SIMs.
6. Limitations / Things to Note
- The tracker only works with the SIM provided in the package and must be used on the jio network. Not usable with other providers. Charging uses a Type A to Type C cable; Type C-to-C is not supported.
- Latency ~ 15 seconds for location updates. Enough for many use-cases, but not for ultra-fast tracking.
7. Why It Matters: Use Cases
- For people who want to track children’s school bags, luggage, or small valuables.
- For vehicle owners who want a more “set-and-forget” device with long battery life.
- Businesses / delivery services needing asset tracking in remote or cross-state routes.
- For safety / security: alerts if something unexpected happens (overspeed, geofence breach, etc.).
8. The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
- For its price, the JioFind Series packs a strong feature-set: good battery, real-time alerts, voice monitoring, shared number, etc.
- The biggest advantages are the simplicity (no extra SIM or number) and the cost (especially after the first year).
- But if you need features like waterproofing, super-fast latency (sub-15s), or universal SIM compatibility, you’ll need to check whether those are offered.
