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

With Airtel once validity expires at 11:59:59 PM, all types of services incl. incoming SMS stops. So you can't expect any kind of SMSes incl. bank messages. 2 years ago they used to offer 7 days IC validity after OG expired and then reduced it to 3 days followed by no IC once recharge expires. I bought Airtel sim for testing services in 2009 and left it there and no relations with them after that.

Those who blame Jio for all in one packs should also go into fact that Balance Deduction for VAS and unwanted services was a normal and people were losing more money with AVoId cartel than others. Even RGSM had mastered the art of balance deduction and they used to make balance Nil even though when you left Rs.200 balance. In name of hello tunes people were spending Rs.30-79 every month.

For roaming you had to recharge with Roaming packs and even then calls were not free but reduced rates. Sending SMS from roaming was charged heavily even when you had active SMS pack. Ek ek cheez ke liye alag se loota jata tha.

But people will not understand it ever how Jio has actually saved thousands of rupess for 8 years for them. They still looking at Rs.10 top up with OG validity. Even if Jio had not arrived, these things would have stopped.

The data revolution in India and the pace of growth of country with that only became possible because of Jio.

After getting 4G spectrum Airtel was of view that 5GB Data should cost Rs.499/month on 4G. Sunil Mittal was always found crying that operators should be given free hand to charge customer at their will.

Jio ka monopoly jadi hoga
 
1. Earlier incoming calls were absolutely free. Now no more. Thanks to entry of Jio. In his landmark statement chief said calls will always be free but he forgot to tell u that to get that free call you have to have available data and active plan.

2. People will tell you about infrastructure and other operational cost of telcos, but won't tell you that about 30% of cost are Spectrum related. That extra load is added by govt following international norm but without proper telecom infrastructure as per international standards.

3. They will tell you that our per GB data cost is among the lowest, but won't tell u that our telecom equipment cost also among the lowest. And, 90% of data are used unnecessarily just because there is free data plan loaded, creating non essential load in the network causing outage.

4. They won't tell you that you may not need 2.5GB data everyday, but you have to pay that price so that those rich guys can get data at subsidized price. There simple justification is if they can pay and use that much data why can't you.

Mark my words within 3 years Jio will create 5GB / Day plan for you and will double the prices. Airtel won't stay behind. Bsnl and vi lost their teeth.

They don't want you to raise ur voice. The logic is laughable. Because x giving service better than y and z, doesn't mean x is doing everything right for the customers.

Agar per month recharge 50,000 v kar de na fer v ye log celebrate karenge... Because they don't care. Everything is sorted for them. That is what they believe.

The day is not far when all prepaid users gonna be shifted to compulsory postpaid service.

Poor will always blame rich, and rich gonna blame the poor. Now you guys decide how your mind treat you financially? Rich or Poor?
