Postpaid Users Porting To Jio Will Carry Forward Credit Limit Need Not Pay Security Deposit

As part of the plan, postpaid subscribers will not be required to pay any security deposit with Jio, something that created a bit of a controversy recently when TRAI revealed that the company is levying such a charge in spite of not clearly mentioning that on its website.

Get JioPostpaid Plus & the Credit Limit of your choice without paying a single rupee.#JioPostPaidPlus #JioDhanDhanaDhan #JioDigital #JioCricket #JioTogether pic.twitter.com/RacSX9lR9Q — Reliance Jio (@reliancejio) October 8, 2020 To take advantage of the new offer, folks wanting to port to Jio need to send a ‘Hi’ on WhatsApp to 88501-88501 from the number they wish to port. They will then be asked to confirm their existing credit limit with their current carrier. Once that’s verified, the user can either pick up their Jio SIM from any Jio Store or get it home-delivered within 24 hours. Do note that the offer is limited to postpaid subscribers (of competing operators, i.e Vi and Airtel) who have an existing credit limit with their current carrier. Everybody else, whether new users or folks who are porting their prepaid numbers to a postpaid plan, will still be required to pay the deposit.
