How to set Jio tune without app?

Setting a Jio tune allows you to customize the ringtone that callers hear when they call your Jio number. While the Jio Tunes app provides the easiest way to set and manage Jio tunes, there are a few ways to set a Jio tune even without the app. In this article, we will explore the different methods to activate and change Jio tunes without using the app.

Overview of Setting Jio Tunes

Jio tunes are ringtones or songs that play for callers instead of your standard ringtone when they call your Jio number. Jio provides a collection of popular songs, customized content, devotional music and more that you can set as your Jio tune.

When you set a Jio tune, callers who phone your number will hear the Jio tune instead of regular ringing. This allows you to personalize the calling experience. Jio tunes are available to all Jio prepaid and postpaid connections.

Here are some of the key things to know about Jio tunes:

• The default validity of a Jio tune is 30 days. You can renew it to continue using the same tune.
• Setting a Jio tune will not affect your ability to receive calls or messages.
• It does not replace your smartphone’s ringtone, which you will continue hearing for non-Jio numbers.
• Charges for Jio tunes vary from Rs. 20 to Rs. 30 for 30 days validity. Regional tunes may have different charges.

While the MyJio app offers the most convenient way to manage Jio tunes, there are a few alternate methods to set and change your Jio tune without using the app.

Method 1: Using SMS

The easiest way to set a Jio tune without the app is via SMS. Jio provides SMS codes that allow you to activate and deactivate tunes.

Here is the process to set a Jio tune using SMS:

1. Find the song or tune you want to set as your Jio tune. Make a note of the tune ID – this is a number associated with each tune.
2. Open the SMS app on your smartphone and compose a new text message.
3. Enter the Jio tune SMS activation code in the recipient field: 56700101
4. In the message body, type: Set {Tune ID}
5. Send this SMS to activate the Jio tune.

For example, if you want to set the popular Hindi song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ as your Jio tune, you can find its tune ID on the Jio website or app. Let’s assume the tune ID is ‘1234567’. You will send this SMS:

Set 1234567

To 56700101

You will receive a confirmation SMS from Jio indicating the tune has been set. The charges for the Jio tune will apply as per your subscription.

This is the easiest way to change Jio tune without app or internet access. As long as you know the tune ID, you can use SMS to manage Jio tunes on your number.

Key SMS Commands

Here are some of the key SMS commands to manage Jio tunes without app:

Command	SMS Format
Activate Tune	Set {Tune ID} to 56700101
Deactivate Current Tune	Stop to 56700101
Extend validity of current tune	Renew to 56700101
Set local city tune	CT {City Code} to 56700101

The city code for local city tunes can be found on the Jio website or app.

Method 2: Missed Call

Another way to set a Jio tune without the app is by giving a missed call to a specified Jio number.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose your preferred Jio tune and note down the tune ID code.
2. Dial the Jio missed call number: 1800-89-99999 from your Jio phone.
3. Disconnect the call after 1-2 rings. This is a missed call.
4. Shortly after, you will get an incoming call from the same Jio number.
5. When you receive the call, key in the tune ID you want to activate and press #.

For example, if you want to set tune ID ‘1234567’, you will:

1. Give a missed call to 1800-89-99999
2. Get a callback from the same number
3. Enter ‘1234567#’ when you receive the call

Your chosen Jio tune will be activated after following these steps. This method works even without internet access on your Jio number.

Method 3: IVR Calls

You can also manage Jio tunes by giving a regular call to Jio’s interactive voice response (IVR) system.

Follow these steps:

1. Call the Jio tune IVR number: 18008908900 from your Jio phone.
2. Follow the voice instructions to select your language preference.
3. Enter your Jio mobile number when prompted and press #
4. Choose your desired activity:
   • Press 1 to activate a tune
   • Press 2 to deactivate current tune
   • Press 3 to set local city tune
5. Follow the additional prompts to complete tune activation or other tasks.

The voice instructions will guide you through the process of managing your Jio tune without the need for an internet connection. However, this method takes more time compared to SMS or missed call.

Method 4: Jio Service Points

You can also visit authorized Jio service points or retail stores to set your Jio tune. Here is the process:

1. Locate an authorized Jio service center near you.
2. Inform the executive you want to activate or change your Jio tune.
3. Provide your Jio phone number and tune details.
4. The executive will help activate the Jio tune from their system.
5. Charges may apply based on the tune activated.

This option is useful when you need assistance choosing tunes or do not have access to other self-service options. However, visiting a service point can be time consuming compared to DIY methods.

Troubleshooting Tips

When setting Jio tunes without the app, you may encounter some issues. Here are troubleshooting tips for common issues:

Tune Not Activated

• Ensure you have entered the correct tune ID in the SMS or call.
• Confirm your Jio account has sufficient balance for activating the tune.
• Retry after some time as there could be a delay in activation.
• Contact Jio customer care if tune does not activate after multiple tries.

Caller Cannot Hear Tune

• Check if you have correctly activated the Jio tune, not deactivated it.

Conclusion

Setting and managing Jio tunes is easy and convenient with the MyJio app. However, even without the app, you can activate and change Jio tunes through SMS, missed call, IVR call or by visiting service centers.

The SMS method is the simplest option to set a tune by sending code to 56700101. Missed call and IVR provide interactive ways without internet. For personalized assistance, visit a Jio store.

Remember to have your tune ID ready before using DIY methods. Follow the IVR menu carefully. Keep your Jio number and tune details handy when visiting service centers. Proper tune activation charges will apply.
