How many sim cards do you have and for what purpose?

[Gaara]

1. General Use
2. Backup Number (I have a fondness for this number, and it’s from BSNL. Even when I don’t recharge the SIM, it remains active, so I keep it.)

In the words of Roy: “One day, I’ll leave all this behind and venture far away. To an unfamiliar state, an unknown city, where I’ll begin a new life under an anonymous name. Only then will I close the chapter of my first number and start using the second.



(Original dialogue: Ake din ye sab chor ke kahin door chala jaun ga, kisi anjaan daish ke anjaan shehar mein, kisi anjaan naam se nayi zindagi shuru karon ga. Tab first number close karke second number use karna start karungha.)

I have 4
1. Primary Jio - for aadhaar and banks - not given to anyone else, not even recharged. Incoming SMS is not stopped in Jio that's why.
2. Jio again but this time for calling and for family members.
3. BSNL - not recharged for like 6 months, for WhatsApp and other spammy things.
4. Vi - for work related like applying to jobs etc.

How many mobiles do you use? Two with dual sim at least?

Yes
2 phones.

If you use 5 simcards, then the recharge for all those sims will eat up any cashback you get from your credit cards heehee

One does not need so much security for the Aadhar. Just use one personal number for family, close friends, banking and Aadhar.

And a second number for work, faltu apps and giving out to restaurants/shops etc.

Put a sim lock pin on the simcards and a password on your phone. If you are hyper-careful, turn off biometric unlock. If you are using a smartwatch linked to the same number as the phone, turn off the ability of the watch and phone to unlock each other. Make sure to disable control centre and notifications of SMS on the lock screen.

They may disconnect your 1. Number suddenly, be careful.
This is very risky keeping aadhar and banks on a number that's not recharged.

1. General use
2. Financial use, not given to anyone else.
3. Aadhaar use, number never given to anyone else nor stored in any phone

I follow the same, except that 2. & 3. Number is same for me.

No they won't disconnect the number as the number is active.
If I switch it off and no incoming call/SMS happens then they can disconnect.

I'm saying "may" disconnect
1) also if someone has to call bank CC urgently in case of fraud and suppose we are in the middle of the road or something, unable to recharge our number immediately.
2) sometimes bank apps may face downtime / our internet downtime. & We have to check bank balance. Then only missed call / sms banking is possible.
I Feel it's petty to save a few bucks in not recharging our number when our entire bank balance/aadhar is linked to it.
Anyways, if your fine with it, then OK
