Port to Airtel

[rockyBalboa]

Jio network has become very poor near my home. I have complained many times but no improvement. Thinking of migrating to Airtel. My question is has anyone faced any issues recently like NOT RECEIVING OTPS, ANY BANKING APPS CRASHING etc. after porting to Airtel? Please share your experience. Reason I am asking is because one of my friends had a huge trouble with OTPs after migrating to Airtel a couple of years back. I hope this isn't the case nowadays.

thats not gonna be happen. Not receiving OTP, Crashing banking App is not connected to porting sim. its a separated thing.

I was also facing OTP issues when I was with Airtel.

But if you have coverage and network issues, you should definitely port.

First check with someone already using the network you want to port to about coverage and speeds at your place. Then take the decision. Because porting has a lock-in period of 90 days.

It happens, as I said a friend of mine faced this issue. If you search on Google and YouTube you'll see that many people faced this problem.

Thanks. Yeah I did confirm with few friends living near me and it seems that they have no issues. But they are using Airtel for a long time and I don't know anyone who has recently ported to Airtel from other networks. Yeah I know it's 90 days lock in period and that's what worries me the most. We so much depend on OTPs these days that my life would be living hell if I face problems with OTPs. 😃

But you have to pay ₹1/min for 1860 numbers and ₹3-5/sms for special sms numbers like 57676 in Airtel. 😝😂

Yeah. I know, but it's a small price to pay as compared to frequent call drops and extremely poor internet.

You facing these in Jio 5G or 4G? If yes in 5G, I would recommend using 4G for now as 5G is not yet fully operational.

Using 4G only. Phone not compatible with 5G.

 

[akshayhs]

After getting a new sim (physical or electronic), SMS (both incoming and outgoing) will be blocked for 24 hours. Post the cooldown, there is no issue.

Try jio 5g in someone's phone. I have issues with jio 4g in my area. Jio 5g works fine(700mhz)

Not received can happen to any network(rare).
App crash is not related to you sim.

But two things i have faced-
1. There is popup message after i sent a sms.(also happened when u register in upi, so so your app suddenly switch, registration process fail). Solution-block the sender.

2. 1860 no are chargeable. Solution-have to recharge.

Those are very much optional, not the only way to be..
