Do you know for how many days you can keep your SIM card active without a recharge plan? TRAI has recently made a big change in the rules of SIM cards. Now you can keep your Jio-Airtel-Vi and BSNL SIM active for several months without a recharge plan.
TRAI Rule for Jio Airtel Vi BSNL: In today’s time, mobile phone has become a basic necessity. Without it, we cannot spend even a few hours. Mobile has made many tasks of our life very easy, but, mobile has also increased our expenses a lot. Due to the expensive recharge plans, taking the plan again and again becomes very expensive. Many people take a new plan as soon as the recharge is over, thinking that the number may be disconnected. Let us tell you about TRAI’s new rule (TRAI Sim Card Rule) related to the validity of SIM card (Sim Card Active rule).
Do you know that if you do not recharge your SIM, for how many days it will remain active? Many people do not know about this. Most people do not know about the validity of the SIM and that is why they recharge it frequently. In such a situation, a big problem arises in front of those people who use two SIM cards.
Recently, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued some rules related to SIM card. TRAI’s new rules have given great relief to mobile users. Even if your mobile recharge plan has expired, now you will not need to recharge immediately. Your SIM card will remain active for many months without a recharge plan.
Rules for Jio users
If you use Jio SIM, then you can keep your SIM active for 90 days without recharging. After 90 days, you have to activate your number by taking a reactivation plan. According to the information, after the recharge plan ends, the facility of incoming calls is different for different users. Some people have incoming calls on their number for a month, some people have it for a week and some get the facility for just one day.
