Although Reliance Jio's price plans may have altered or may now seem a bit pricey to some, the operator has a wider reach and is accessible in even the most isolated regions of the nation.

Prepaid and postpaid plans are available from Reliance Jio in a range of price points. Jio offers plans that range in price from Rs 149 to Rs 2999. In-flight packs, data credits, annual plans, plans without a daily cap, foreign roaming plans, and more are all available from Jio. Additionally, Jio plans include unlimited voice calling, which means there is no time constraint or restriction on how long you may speak to someone using a Jio phone.

If you don't currently use Jio but would like to, the firm offers easy procedures to port your number without you having to go to a Jio store.

Here are some easy procedures for porting your Airtel, Vodafone Idea, or BSNL SIM to Jio.

• First, raise a porting request by sending an SMS ‘Port'<10-digit mobile number> to 1900 from the number you want to port.

• Once you get the unique porting code along with the expiring date of the code, apply for the SIM home delivery.

• A Jio personnel will visit you soon. Keep your ID proof and address proof handy for verification. Jio does not charge for delivering the SIM. The SIM gets activated within the MNP SIM activation time.

It should be noted that before migrating your number, postpaid subscribers should settle any outstanding balances with their current provider. According to government regulations, the number will be enabled following a successful validation within 3 working days if you are porting in inside the same telecom circle. Up to 5 working days may pass before a port-in to another telecom circle is completed. Your services won't be utilized throughout the transfer, nevertheless.
