People have reported on social media that their inactive Jio numbers are being deactivated. If your number has been disabled for more than a year and you were using it only to receive incoming calls, you should recharge it now to save it. Good and affordable plans are available for this purpose, ranging from ₹11 to ₹209.

Do you have a Jio SIM that you use only for incoming calls and haven't recharged in a year? If so, it's time to save your number. Tipster Abhishek Yadav   reported on X that Jio has begun deactivating inactive numbers. Therefore, it's crucial to recharge your number. Failure to do so could result in your number being deactivated and reassigned to someone else. It's important to note that once your number is reassigned, it's impossible to get it back. To protect your number, it's crucial to recharge it once every 90 days.

Fortunately, there are some affordable options that can help you keep your Jio SIM active and prevent it from being deactivated at minimal cost. You can choose from affordable recharges of ₹11 to ₹209. It's important to ensure you recharge your SIM once every 90 days.

According to reports ( REF. ), TRAI regulations state that if your SIM is inactive for 90 days, the company can deduct ₹20 from your balance. However, your SIM must have balance for this to work. Modern plans don't offer any balance. In such a case, your SIM may be deactivated. The company can take anywhere from 90 to 365 days to deactivate an inactive SIM.

11 rupees recharge is the most economical

If you want to signal to the company that your SIM is being used and not deactivate it at the lowest cost, the ₹11 recharge is best for you. This gives you unlimited data for 1 hour. This gives your SIM a 90-day life. Before the 90 days are up, you can recharge again for ₹11. This could prove to be the cheapest way to protect your number until the rules change.

189 recharge is the second option

If you don't want to risk a ₹11 recharge, the ₹189 recharge may be best for you. It offers 2GB of data and unlimited calling for 28 days. Since this plan comes with a validity period, you can be free from the worry of your SIM deactivating for the next 90 days.

The Rs 209 option is also effective

If you're looking to use a little internet when you recharge, consider the ₹209 recharge instead of the ₹11 or ₹189 plan. This will provide you with 1GB of internet per day for 22 days. This will allow you to use the internet for 22 days and avoid the worry of your SIM being disabled for 90 days.
