Jio Recharge Plan Hike - Effective 3rd July 2024

[SSV]

Don’t you think it’s a big gamble? Like, what if someday you move to a new city for work or whatever, and suddenly Jio’s network there is trash, then you’ll have to port to the other one… Chortel 😏. I keep overthinking these things.

Most likely NO in my case, either I will be in Hyderabad or in Sydney...

Same with CIBIL subscriptions, stacking them up for 5+ years is literally the dumbest move. One fine morning the govt. might just roll out some new rule saying banks and FIs should follow a new govt. backed credit bureau instead of TransUnion CIBIL (because this issue has been raised earlier in the parliament before the FM), and poof, all that subscription money down the drain. Plus, we already get enough free refreshes anyway.

No..
It is not govt that takes calls in this case, it is the banks that take these calls.. even now very few banks folkow experian / other bureaus...
And also it is not about who follows whom..it is about what was reported to the bureaus and cibil currently implements most accurate and regularly updated bureau... nad our job is to find out what is being reported to the bureaus and rectify it asap if something is wrong...

So why does everyone follow CIBIL? not CRIF or Experian etc etc.... What if the govt. mandates the banks to follow some new central credit bureau if they decide to. I mean the govt. has too much power isn't it?

Most likely NO in my case, either I will be in Hyderabad or in Sydney...

Some small risk has to be taken. You can’t be so afraid and paranoid about a few thousand Rupees. It’s not like you are investing all your life’s savings and it would bankrupt you.

 

[Lobogris]

Yes, you are right..
That's why I stacked it up for the next 6 years or so @ ₹2,999...
😉

I am only following the simple logic.. the prices are only going to go uppppp..
They already went up from 3k to 3.6k since i last recharged about one year ago...

Good move. Even I have stacked Airtel for nearly 2 years which is the maximum allowed. I generally don’t use Jio unless there is no other option.

I understand but my views are a bit conservative in this regard. But that is a great insight which @SSV sir just gave. Also I believe not everyone can spare so much capital all at once due to our day to day expenses and obligations we ought to meet.

I have a suggestion go to Ireland on a student visa. Get a degree, work there, get citizenship and then get a Pak Visa 😛

Not need. I have 3 citizenships from other developed countries but they look at place of birth, citizenship of parents and even grandparents. Last time, I applied, they even checked on the citizenship of my wife as well as any other citizenship held by her. I had to provide even passport details for my parents. So, your suggestion would make it a little better but it remains difficult. Now they have a visa on arrival as well as eVisa but it’s not allowed for foreign citizens of Indian origin, unfortunately. India has the same policy towards them and they sort of reciprocate.

3 citizenships... wow

I have two numbers:

1) Jio - primary..stacked for 6 years..
This number used to be on BSNL, a couple of years ago I migrated it to Jio .

2) Airtel- secondary - stacked for 2 years (maximum allowed)..

3 citizenships... wow

SBI wouldn't give 3 credit cards, but @Lobogris has 3 citizenships.

If apple has 3 different offers on 3 different countries, Lobo is our guy to buy from him

Airtel + airtel axis a good option to consider now?
They are planning for another price hike right?
