Are your incoming services active?
Incoming services always remain active with Jio. For more than 3 years they didn't even deducted Rs.20 yet IC services remained active. But I have kept Rs.250+ topup balance in all sims and from last 3 months they are deducting.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Like SMS, Calls & OTP <<<<<<<<<<<


Btw OTP comes in SMS so SMS, Calls active. Companies can never block otp only sms and keep other active.

No chortel blocked my axshit chortel cc OTP, when ironically i was going to recharge my chortel number only. My pack got expired so no OTP I received for more than 30-40 mins. After recharge using UPI sms and otps were resumed. Plus jio still has a customer care to reach out to. Chortel = No customer care
 
Jio sim runs in jio phone ?
Like if I port bsnl to jio and use it in jiophone , will it work ?
They are no longer cheaper, except 75 plan and 336 days plan + in case you want to use full fledged service, out of jio phone you can't use that...
 
20 rs Deducted but how many days of validity will you get with each such deduction? Can you summarize how with just 240/- to get 365 day's validity..
Finally Jio has started deducting Rs.20 every month from my inactive sims. It's good that atleast they are following TRAI rule. Every 31st day I receive SMS of Rs.20 deduction now. Now I am sure my number wont be deactivated till balance becomes lower than Rs.20.

Will activate Rs.98_14 Days Plan Vouchers I have and then again top them up.

Not a bad deal for 1 year at Rs.240 for number retention
 
You'll get the cashback, but one downside I faced in chortel is basically, as soon as your pack expires, you stop receiving incoming SMS & calls. Personally this was a deal breaker to me. I ported from Jio to chortel, experienced this bs and then ported back to Jio, because ironically 1 day my pack expired and for the recharge to go through using the axshit chortel cc I would have needed an OTP, which I wasn't receiving as the pack expired, so missed on the cash back, had to process the recharge through UPI; Plus with chortel you can't call a lot of bank's customer care numbers. You would need to recharge with separate voice and talk-time kinda packs like in the old days. Personally I have 2 numbers, and recharge them alternatively. In Jio I recharge 1 number for 84 days and then as soon as it expires, I recharge the other for another 84 days. In this way I keep both numbers active, because I don't exceed the 90 day period boss. Once you exceed the 90 day period without recharge on your number, you have good chances of losing out your number. So I at all times get Incoming calls and SMS in Jio on both my numbers (1 active + 1 inactive (no recharge) at all times) which I believe is the main reason of even keeping a phone at the first place, that one should receive a call/text.

Consider all these points before porting & don't be penny wise and pound foolish like me & then eventually come back to Jio.
1860 calls free in jio
