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 New 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 ended, now you will not need to recharge immediately. Your SIM card will remain active for many months without a recharge plan.
TRAI’s rule for Jio users
If you use Jio SIM, then you can keep your SIM active for 90 days without recharging. If there is no recharge plan, the incoming service of your number will remain active for 90 days. However, you will not be able to take advantage of outgoing service without recharge. To keep the SIM active after 90 days, you will have to take a validity plan of Rs 99. If you do not take this plan, your number will be disconnected.
TRAI’s rule for Airtel
If you use Airtel SIM, then let us tell you that without recharge, you can keep Airtel SIM card active only for 60 days. After 60 days, you will have to take a validity plan of Rs 45. In this too, you will be able to avail only incoming service for 60 days.
TRAI rule for Vi
If you use Vi SIM, then let us tell you that you can keep your SIM card active for 90 days without a recharge plan. After this, you will have to take a plan of Rs 49 to keep the SIM active.
TRAI rule for BSNL
You can keep the SIM card of government company BSNL active for the maximum number of days without a recharge plan. In this, you get a validity of 180 days. Meaning, the incoming service will remain active on your number for 180 days after the recharge plan ends.
Pay special attention to this
Let us tell you that if you do not recharge the SIM card of Jio, Airtel, vi or BSNL for 180 days, then in this condition your number will be shifted to someone else. Therefore, if you also have any such number which has not been recharged for a long time then recharge it immediately.
