As of November 2016, if you call Reliance or speak to any of the Reliance Digital employees, they will tell you that you can get a Sim only once you generate a bar code using a 4G phone.
I had a friend who had got a 4G phone functional with reliance connection. I thought that before purchasing a 4G phone, I will try to get a reliance connection first. This is because in the past few weeks, there have been multiple occasions where reliance digital said that they have run out of Sims.
However, it was not possible to get a bar code generated from my friends 4G Phone because reliance Application would automatically log into his account
I then went to the reliance digital store and also spoke to reliance customer service. Both of them were unanimous stating that for purchasing a new reliance connection, a customer needs to buy a new 4G phone first and then generate a bar code. I asked them that if they can generate a bar code for me from the phone's that they were carrying in the store and they said that all of the phones have already been used for generating barcodes for other customers.
So I decided to try a hack. I removed the Reliance Sim from my friends for and also uninstalled the reliance application. I then restarted the phone and reinstall the app.My thinking was at this stage, the reliance software will not be able to distinguish whether it was installed on a new form or on a phone which had used a reliance connection earlier. And of course this was correct. The application prompted me to generate a bar code which I did and was thus able to obtain a reliance connection without purchasing of 4g phone
Incidentally, I asked the store employees about the reliance Wi-Fi router and they had no idea.
I'm still looking for a router where I can insert the reliance 4G sim and can get a broadband connection. Given my experience, I cannot rely on the reliance employees (irony).
Anyway hopefully this post is of use to people looking for a 4G connection
