Rcom to Jio smooth PORTING experience (Mumbai circle). Unlike others I received several SMSes throughout the process. 31-10-2017 Sent SMS "PORT 93XXXXXXXX" to 1900 at 9:55 AM. 31-10-2017 Received SMS from 1901 at 11:37 AM. 31-10-2017 In the evening we applied for MNP at Jio Store (since UDAI server was slow it took approximately 15 - 20 minutes). 31-10-2017 Received SMS from JM-JioNew on Rcom number at 6:13 PM 31-10-2017 Received SMS from JG-JIONET on alternate number at 6:13 PM. 5-11-2017 Received SMS from JM-JioNew on Rcom number at 9:49 AM. 7-11-2017 Received SMS from JM-JioPay on Rcom number at 12:40 AM (6th Midnight). 7-11-2017 Received SMS from JG-JIONET on Rcom number at 12:41 AM (6th Midnight). 7-11-2017 Received SMS from JM-JIONET on Rcom number at 12:41 AM (6th Midnight). 7-11-2017 Received SMS from JM-JIONET on alternate number at 12:41 AM (6th Midnight). 7-11-2017 Unexpectedly the Rcom SIM was still working till late evening and since the number belongs to my wife & she returned late in the night, we finally inserted the Jio SIM at around 11:56 PM. So after inserting new Jio SIM...... 7-11-2017 Received SMS from Reliance on Jio (ported SIM) at 11:57 PM. Finally the number is now working on Jio and I made a online recharge of ₹558 (₹99 + ₹459) for 84 days plan.

So now you would be enjoying all the top Telcom providers of India.

Here in Mumbai they only have 2G services and CDMA.

Your case seems complicated. Anyway login to your old account using "email-ID" and "password" through Browser in PC (Select 'Sign In using Email ID'). Now, on the login page enter your Registered Email ID and choose 'forgot password' & try to reset password. Thereafter you will be able to login to your old account and remove/replace the email ID and attached numbers too. Then you should create a new account using new number (Primary) and attach the email ID. You need to remove the linked account/numbers too. Please let me know if it works. Note that it takes approximately 24 hours for new email / Jio ID to get updated after email verification & OTP verification - please recheck.

What was the SMS precisely ? I have received UPC code on all my 3 RCOM numbers and since yesterday I am again receiving messages from Reliance with same UPC code but with extended validity till 31 December.

Same here - Received new SMS with same UPC code but with validity extended till 31st December now.

Reliance Communications will shut down voice call service from December 1 but the customers can move to other networks by the end of the year i.e. 31st December 2017, as per direction issued by telecom regulator Trai today. Trai has further directed Reliance Communications to immediately issue unique porting codes – required to move to other carriers through mobile number portability (MNP) – to its subscribers and keep them active till the end of December to facilitate their exit. Trai has also informed RCom to send all the necessary information regarding closure of voice calls along with option to port out to any operators in case subscriber do not wish to continue with 4G data only services of the company. Trai has also asked all telecom operators to accept request of RCom subscribers till December 31, 2017. Trai has also directed RCom not to reject porting requests of subscribers who are using the service for less than 90 days, granting an exemption, also in the larger interest of consumers. Trai has directed Rcom to issue public notice on the main page of its website, informing its subscribers regarding extension of validity of UPCs till 23:59:59 hours of December 31, 2017 and to port out their mobile number to any other telecom service provider till December 31, 2017. RCom has also been asked to issue public notice of minimum size 12X12cm by November 6 in at least two daily newspapers in all circles including Delhi, Rajasthan, UP (West), UP (East), Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal, Gujarat and Kolkata. Of the two, one newspaper should be in a regional language. source : http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/rcom-to-shut-voice-calls-from-dec-1-subscribers-can-port-till-dec-31-2429123.html https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/trai-directs-rcom-to-keep-porting-codes-active-till-december-end/61497151

Yes after 90 days.

I meant that those who are using 4G SIM in 4G handset are also receiving the additional message saying - "You may experience NW issues as we are optimizing it in MU. You can continue to enjoy our service or opt to port out to any network of your choice. RCOM" whereas others are only receiving the port code message instead.

That is because Trai has instructed RCom to do so when they closed the network abruptly at several locations - specially Shillong & Kerala where they have already switched off 2G.. https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/trai-directs-rcom-and-rtl-to-help-consumers-port-out-to-other-carriers/61423419 Further Trai have issued a show cause notice too... https://thewire.in/193612/trai-reliance-communication-showcause-2g-services/

The connection will become 4G only (data only as Reliance has not made any arrangements for Volte yet) after they switch off 2G & 3G towers. Those who are using 4G sim in 4G handsets are receiving such messages whereas those using the 4G sim in 3G or 2G handsets are receiving port code instead. My advice is to generate a port code and port out instead of sailing in a sinking ship if the number is important.

You might receive the same code again against your new request (not sure). It is taking more than 3 - 4 hours to get the code. Otherwise try calling Nodal executive of your circle or visit rcom store or office in your area. You are from which circle?

If it's a prepaid number then you can directly take the new prepaid sim in your name while porting. You will have to produce your aadhaar card. Tell them that the number is in your name. That's it!

The port code which you have received is valid for fifteen days so you will not get any new code. Just use that code and port out as soon as possible.

You don't require coupon code. Just go to Jio Store with your local aadhaar card and UPC (port code) - nothing else. They will give you a new sim and you need to recharge only after 7 days when your number gets activated.

I am in Mumbai circle and yesterday applied for porting from rcom 4G (Prepaid) to Jio (Prepaid). They gave me a new sim and said that it will get activated by 7th day. I have one more rcom 4G Sim (still ₹62 balance) - all from Dapo offer (CDMA later migrated to 4G) right from 2003 which I am planning to port to Airtel or Vodafone.

Yes, Mukesh Ambani is very much interested in Prepaid customers as he gets the money in advance whereas he discourages Postpaid (for common people) as that leads to outstanding, payment delays and bad debts too.

Who said? Jio offers postpaid too.

Today I made a request for port code on my other number by sending sms to 1900 & after approx. 3 hours I received the code finally.

Yes. I too received port code without requesting valid till 14th November 2017. They want to retain users who are using 4G SIM & 4G handsets so the question of handing it's subscribers to Jio does not arise. Since I have not received any port code on my other SIM which is in 4G handset.

A new feature has been added to the MyJio app which now allows user to switch or change the primary/default number attached with the account called "Switch account".

Rimweb was smart enough to 'port' its forum to Jio in time.

Please note that a special app is required for voice/video call or sms to work on 4G/LTE network, which rcom has not yet developed AFAIK. Further the Jio4GVoice app uses the same Volte protocol and works as a Volte emulator on non Volte handset or with JioFi device. Reliance (rcom) has clearly mentioned that they will ask customers to switch to 4G handsets, hence it does not seem that they will develop any communication app for 3G or non Volte 4G handsets. Chances are that, for the time being they will continue their 3G network for voice fallback. But it the duty of RCOM to declare / clarify with a public release about their intentions after 30th November as what will be the situation if someone is still stuck in their network.

Read this "The customers of Reliance now have to move to another network by porting out (MNP) or they can upgrade their handset which supports 4G network to continue to use the same mobile number. Reliance has advised prepaid customers and retailers to exhaust all the remaining balance in their account before 30 November. All customers will receive UPC code by Reliance." It is still not clear how rcom will provide voice & sms on 4G only network as they have not yet induced "Volte". Nothing is clear whether they will continue 3G or not. Rcom has not issued any public notification or circular for its consumers yet.

Yes! this type of combination is only possible in Jio which allows parallel activation of plans.
