LTE4G

I said in general context about the process & not specifically about RCom. However, in my past experience - I got my security refund from Vodafone by the way of cheque (by post) whereas RCom & Tata Docomo adjusted it against my unbilled outstanding and RCom later generated a bill for few Rupees & Tata Docomo gave the balance by the way of talk time credited to my prepaid account when I converted my postpaid connections to prepaid a few years back.

It depends on when you applied for porting - if there is no unpaid bill then it will get honoured irrespective of any unbilled amount, which is billed later as last bill. And the security deposit is returned once the last bill is paid.

If you succeeded in removing/changing the email then wait for sometime before using it with new ID/account.

@varkey Go to Sim Toolkit and switch ON National Roaming (Home IMSI) - restart and everything will start working. (in India you shall keep this setting AFAIK).

@nitink & @mywebid Search for any Rcom store or office and get it (porting) cleared by paying any dues (₹3 or 4) showing in their account. (some stores were still working in some places last month)

They are suppose to merge, so why would they stop roaming agreement (in fact they will be sharing common network in future).

So, your documents are approved and they (Airtel) are just waiting for the validation/confirmation of porting code by Reliance. By tomorrow you should definitely receive the "porting approval" message (Lazy Rcom staff still torturing people since they know that the code validity is extended till 31 December). Good Luck !

Did your agent/retailer select the correct option ? viz:- R-GSM for GSM SIM and R-CDMA for CDMA to GSM/4G upgraded SIM. If so then your SIM should get activated by tomorrow (unless they have made error while entering data as when they were filling my online porting form they made mistakes twice while entering my number as well as while entering the port code which was corrected when I pointed them about the mistakes as I was watching carefully).

Yes - but before the expiry (means on the last day when the current plan is still active). It will remain queued until the current active plan expires. (Jio plans do not get triggered if a plan is already active - it can only be activated manually parallel to the current plan if required).

Did you try the option of 'recharge other number' from the same MyJio account which has the vouchers? It should work imho.

@vishalmcp did you try recharging other number from the same account (the one which is having the vouchers) without switching the account? Because vouchers will not be available once you switch your account as they are not transferable.

As usual Jio Triple Cashback offer has been extended till 15th December 2017.

Seems Anil Ambani is trying to give electric shock treatment to RCom. Update Sat 11:18 AM : RCom website is now restored & is not mirroring Reliance energy any more. (Shock treatment over!!)

Reliance CDMA was my second number when I took the connection in 2003 under the introductory phase of 'Dhirubhai Ambani Pioneer' offer. Later I took one more number, then data card dongle 1x - upgraded to EVDO data card...etc. even took one 3G (GSM) sim. I really loved CDMA network - low radiation, good voice quality, decent acceptable data speed, good coverage even while roaming. Rcom could have survived with its robust CDMA network, but the decision of upgrading to 4G proved fatal for them as it not only just strengthened Jio but dragged Rcom to the current situation.

I ported one of my Rcom number to Jio through Digital Xpress and didn't pay a single penny and later after activation recharged ₹558 (₹459 + ₹99) online myself through JioMoney app. For the other Rcom number which I ported to Airtel, I paid ₹10 towards sim charges while taking sim from Airtel Store and later went to the same store and got FRC of ₹495 + ₹3.00, that's all.

Airtel FRC is ₹178 for Unlimited all Local+STD Calls (for non-commercial use), 1GB data, SMS Free (100SMS/day) for 28 days.T&C.For all handsets. (Mumbai Circle) & FRC ₹178 for Unlimited Local+STD calls + 1GB data with roaming OG free + 100SMS/DAY -all HS. T&C apply (Maharashtra & Goa)

They are "Cashback vouchers" just like "Plan vouchers" and will remain in your "My Vouchers" of MyJio app till the number is active. Jio wants you to USE them in the coming years and stay with them by the way of en-cashing vouchers (Marketing trick). Who ever spent ₹399/- got ₹50*8 = ₹400 vouchers. Now to redeem these vouchers you should spend at least ₹309*8 = ₹2472 - ₹400 (50*8) = ₹2072 more. Well someone will say that you can also redeem it against ₹91 top-up, but wait ! - to use a top-up or booster pack you require an active base plan - which means another recharge.

Anil Ambani is sailing Rcom towards self destruction and don't know about "lifetime validity" but Rcom's 'LIFE' is sure on ventilator and may not survive till 2020 even.

How can we forget that Rcom is infamous for NOT keeping its promise.

Yes - here in Mumbai too. Reliance (Rcom) network is missing since yesterday and unlike before, now the sim seldom connects to Aircel or TataDocomo network (even tried manually).

Why did you pay ? while applying for Port in you don't need to pay anything. Did you pay ₹650 or ₹560 ? there is no Jio Prime recharge totaling to ₹650. If you paid ₹650 then go to the gallery and tell him that the number is now active and ask him to recharge for either ₹459 + ₹99 = ₹558 (for 84GB 84 days plan) or ₹509 + ₹99 = ₹608 (for 98GB 49 days plan) and refund the balance. Advise to all : Please DON'T pay anything when you apply for PORT-IN to any operator. You need to recharge only once the porting is successful.

Seems wrong info. the person recharges 4 times and gets validity 6 times and gets refund for one recharge too - unbelievable. There is no queuing facility in Vodafone or Airtel yet.

Signal is fine at Mira Bhayandar, Kandivali, Malad & Bandra. But a few months back I also faced similar issue for few hours. You can try switching off your handset for few minutes and then switch on or wait for some time and try.

Yes ! You can port to Jio using any aadhaar ID (No issue - verified by porting prepaid connection) AFAIK there is no known issue of blocking port out by Jio. Wait as porting process is taking time these days due to Rcom customers rush. Further - if the Jio SIM is taken by using Aadhaar eKYC then I doubt whether that can be ported out using any other person's name/ aadhaar ID (Not tried yet). May work... AFAIK most handset available in the market support 4G on either sim only - but some new phones are arriving with 4G VoLTE support on both sim simultaneously. Will check & revert...

Have not tried but I assume that it should/may work if recharged from the same MyJio app (though not sure). Will check and revert...
