Jio launches Rs 799 safety-first phone designed for every Indian

Reliance Jio has launched a new addition to its JioBharat series — India’s first ‘Safety-First’ mobile phone, designed to protect users from scams, frauds, and online threats. The announcement was made at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, where the company unveiled the phone’s all-new Safety Shield feature.

Priced at Rs 799, the phone is tailored to meet the safety and connectivity needs of children, women, and senior citizens. With



digital fraud and online exploitation on the rise, the new handset aims to offer families peace of mind through real-time location tracking, usage controls, and phone health monitoring.

The JioBharat Safety-First phone enables users to monitor loved ones’ whereabouts, restrict access to unknown contacts, and block inappropriate websites and content. Its user-friendly interface and seven-day battery life make it especially suitable for senior citizens.
