Important Information: SIM Card Longevity Without Recharging
How long does a SIM card remain active without a recharge? The answer varies by provider, and it's crucial to be informed, especially if you use multiple SIMs in one device but recharge only one.
Today, we’ll delve into the policies of the three major telecom companies in India: reliance jio, airtel, and vodafone idea (Vi). Understanding these rules, which are regulated by TRAI, is essential for keeping your SIM active.
Reliance jio SIM Rules
Your reliance jio SIM will remain active for 90 days without any recharge. However, during this period, the availability of incoming calls may vary based on your last recharge plan—ranging from a month to just a few days. If you fail to recharge after the 90-day period, your number will be permanently disconnected and may be reassigned to another user.
Airtel SIM Rules
For airtel prepaid SIM users, the rules are similar: your SIM stays active for 90 days without recharge. Following this, you receive a grace period of an additional 15 days. If you still do not recharge during this grace period, your number will be deactivated and subsequently made available for new customers.
Vodafone idea (Vi) SIM Rules
Vodafone idea users also benefit from a 90-day active period without recharge. If you do not recharge within this time frame, your number will be deactivated and entered back into the market for new users to purchase.
In summary, all three providers give a 90-day period of inactivity, with varying procedures for reactivation or deactivation thereafter. It's vital to stay informed about these policies to avoid losing your number.
