Bus yahi toh chahiye. Thank you for the confirmation! 😊
BTW, have you recharged with any top-up plan? Like ₹10, ₹20, etc.

I see. And have you kept it inserted in your phone? Or it's just lying around?

In the phone actively receiving calls 😂
Okay, I shouldn't boast, but the Jio number that I got in 2016 is still active, and just lying around. 🤣

It must have been inserted in the phone periodically, right? My dad had two Jio numbers from 2016 too, which were left unused for about 2 years. No recharges, and not inserted into any phone for 2 years. They both got permanently deactivated.
Yes, I insert that now and then just to check.

According to rules if you recharge with minimum ₹100 in 90 days period companies cannot deactivate your number. After 90 days different companies have different time period for deactivation.
Among all airtel deactivates first. Then comes Vi, after that BSNL and last Jio.
So Jio is your best shot to keep your number active for longest period with minimum recharge.
In my experience Jio also calls you (from local mobile number) to inform you that your number will deactivate permanently, before 2 days.
Airtel - Incoming and OTPs stop after 7 days of plan expiration.
Vi - Same 7 days
BSNL - Same 7 days
Jio - Never stops incoming or OTPs until deactivation.

I'm unsure about the 90-day rule, because airtel says they'll stop service in 7 days after recharge expires.
Jio follows 90 days policy, but they'll call you often and say we'll deactivate your number today.. so it's hard to say when is the actual final call.

90 days rule of trai: https://www.trai.gov.in/notificatio...lation-deactivation-cellular-mobile-telephone
Airtel, Vi and BSNL deactivate incoming after 7 days of plan expiration but your number still remains yours for 90 days at least, you can recharge it again within 90 days to keep your number. In BSNL's case it's 165 days, they call it 2nd Grace Period or GP2 in short.

I have a Jio and a VI number. Previously, VI did not use to block OTPs after recharge got over, but now they are doing it immediately. Are any other VI users here who are having the same issues? Thinking to port to different service, but not sure which one..

It's not an issue, it's intentional. As I mentioned earlier except jio every other operator is doing this.
Having both sims as JIO wont be an issue?
Nope. U can
395 (3 month ) with friday rupay offer 315 i guess
U can't do Friday rupay offer on 395. Or on any of the Jio value plans. Or am I missing anything?
Yo true sorry
395 is best deal as it gives 5g too
