Make sure you get the roaming enabled sim card. Normal sim won't work.Might port over to BSNL for this, seems quite manageable in this case
Yeah, they haven't sorted it out for years, doubt if they ever will for lower tier cities.hope 5g migration resolves this jam
Yes, for sure! Thanks for the reminder!Make sure you get the roaming enabled sim card. Normal sim won't work.
Message comes free without any pack.Yes, but only if you take a roaming plan.
That's because you didn't enable International roaming in Jio(need to recharge 1 with one of their international pack).I can confirm Airtel prepaid allows you to recieve SMS, friends used it in Canada for 3ish months no issues. I on the other hand in Jio, didn't get shit, atleast they have coverage via international partners, I got 0 network.

Kept Vi(5 years) and Jio(2 years) overseas..only minimum Recharge required to keep number active. For Jio we need to recharge 1s with international pack for roaming to get enabled
So, if I am understanding this right, I buy an international pack once? And after that expires as well, I can do minimum domestic recharge and it will continue to receive SMS abroad?That's because you didn't enable International roaming in Jio(need to recharge 1 with one of their international pack).
Post that it works like charm
Yes.So, if I am understanding this right, I buy an international pack once? And after that expires as well, I can do minimum domestic recharge and it will continue to receive SMS abroad?
Ohkay, makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing!Yes.
International pack is just needed 1s with Jio to activate the roaming..without that it won't even latch on to overseas network
roaming is free. meaning you will get OTP for free. (keep recharging minimum amount to keep the service alive)Any hacks for international roaming? We will need roaming enabled for banking transactions and OTP etc. Cost is approx 7k per month. We are 4 of us and will be abroad for 3-4 months. That's 28k per month or a whopping 1L+ total roaming cost.
Any hacks or tricks to avoid this? Any sms forwarding service or similar? Can't change number with all banks etc.
I never activated any roaming plans. It was automatic for me and I never recharged any international roaming plans either. I only recharge the minimum validity plan whenever I am out of India which is like 11 months in a year.International roaming is not by default enabled on airtel. So either activate it in India. If you buy an international roaming plan it gets activated automatically. You can activate it without buying the plan.
