Introduction
At the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, Jio once again stole the spotlight by unveiling two major innovations — its new range of JioBharat “Safety-First” phones and the Jio AI Classroom initiative. Designed to bridge digital accessibility and safety, these announcements reflect Jio’s ongoing commitment to empowering both families and learners across India.
The JioBharat phones focus on security, control, and ease of use, catering especially to children, elderly users, and women, while the Jio AI Classroom provides a free, foundational AI learning experience accessible to millions.
JioBharat Safety First Phones: Affordable, Smart, and Secure
Jio’s new JioBharat lineup introduces a safety first design philosophy, combining affordability with intelligent monitoring and control features.
Starting Price: ₹799
Availability: Jio Stores, JioMart, Amazon, Swiggy Instamart, and major offline retailers.
These handsets are specifically designed for parents, caregivers, and safety-conscious users who want to stay connected while minimizing distractions and risks associated with modern smartphones.
Top Features of JioBharat Safety-First Phones
1. Location Monitoring
Each JioBharat phone comes equipped with built-in location tracking, allowing users to share real-time locations with trusted contacts.
Parents can monitor their children’s whereabouts.
Caregivers can keep track of elderly family members’ safety.
Women can use the feature as a security safeguard while commuting.
This feature works seamlessly even in low-network areas — a major plus for rural users.
2. Usage Manager for Call and Message Control
The Usage Manager is one of the most powerful features of the new JioBharat phones.
Parents can control who can call or text their children.
Users can block unknown or spam callers.
The phone helps limit digital distractions, particularly social media exposure among younger users.
This feature encourages healthy device usage habits and offers peace of mind for parents and caregivers.
3. Long Battery Life
Jio claims that these new devices can run up to seven days on a single charge, making them ideal for users who prefer simple functionality and dependability over frequent charging.
This long-lasting battery life is particularly useful for rural areas or senior citizens who may not charge devices regularly.
4. Simple and Intuitive Design
Built with a minimal interface, the JioBharat phones are meant to be easy to use for all age groups — including first-time users.
The phones feature large keypads, high-contrast displays, and clear voice output, ensuring accessibility for everyone.
Jio’s Focus on Family Safety and Digital Wellbeing
Jio emphasized that the Safety-First JioBharat phones are not just for basic communication but also to promote digital wellbeing.
“Our aim is to give every household a sense of security and control, ensuring technology remains a tool for empowerment, not distraction,” said a Jio spokesperson during IMC 2025.
The company highlighted that these devices will help reduce exposure to unnecessary online content while maintaining connectivity through Jio’s 4G network.
