Whenever I face internet outage, I feel that I should buy a smartphone so that I can use internet uninterrupted.
Few years back I bought this Airtel 3G dongle. Since I couldn't keep recharging/using the number, Airtel sim deactivated after few months and I needed to buy another sim. Maintaining two numbers isn't possible for me. So when internet is down, I recharge my BSNL number for 3G data. Remove the sim from my mobile and put it in 3G dongle and use it (yeah, I am still using a decade old feature phone). It's not a smooth experience. May be it's because I am using BSNL sim in Airtel dongle or something? I don't know (yeah it's unlocked). For months, I have been thinking about buying Jio phone and use it's internet in my PC.
Yesterday, there was internet outage and soon after my landline too gone. Now I needed something, I recharged BSNL number for 3G data. And it didn't work either. Urgently, I needed internet. I don't want to delay it anymore. Went to the nearby shop and bought the Jio phone. After the purchase, I learned that I can't connect Jio phone to my PC to use it's internet. MY BAD.
Now I can't sell/transfer it to anyone else, I guess. At least that's what terms and condition says.
I can't give back the phone to Jio and take refund.
Since I can't use it's internet in my PC, there is no use for me. So most likely I won't be using this number and I can't use any other sim in this phone.
I guess this 1653/- (including recharge) gone total waste unless there is something I can do. If you guys know any way, let me know.
