Activate Jio SIM for ₹44: A claim is becoming increasingly viral on social media that Jio SIM can be kept active for the whole year by spending only ₹ 44. This claim has especially caught the attention of the middle class and people using secondary numbers. People are thinking that if this is true, then one can get rid of expensive recharge. But does this trick really work or is it just an illusion? Let us know the whole truth.

What is the ₹44 viral trick?

It is being claimed in the viral posts that if some activity is done on the SIM by taking Jio’s small data pack of ₹ 11, then the SIM becomes active again. It is being said that the SIM can be kept active by spending ₹11 once every 90 days. According to this, ₹ 11 will be spent 4 times in a year, that is, the number will remain active for the whole year for a total of ₹ 44. For this reason, it is being called a cheap hack, which is attracting a lot of people.

What are the real rules for keeping Jio SIM active?

The rules of telecom companies clearly say that if there is no activity like calls, SMS or data on a number for a long time, then that number can become inactive. After some time the company can also give that number to another user. However, the terms and conditions of incoming calls and services may vary depending solely on the company’s policy.

What will be the impact on incoming calls and OTP?

It is also said in the viral claim that incoming calls and SMS will continue to be received even without major recharge. That’s why many people are thinking of using it for banking or OTP numbers. But the truth is that there is no guarantee that incoming services will always be active. It completely depends on your plan and company conditions.

Does this trick really work?

Experts believe that it is not necessary to get 90 days validity every time by just buying a data pack of ₹ 11. Many times only a valid plan keeps the SIM active. Therefore, the claim of keeping the SIM active for a year at ₹ 44 cannot be considered completely reliable. This trick may work in some cases, but is not guaranteed for every user.

What to do so that the number is not switched off?

  • Do valid recharge from time to time
  • Check official plan and company rules
  • Always keep your banking and OTP number active
  • Avoid relying only on viral tricks

Looks cheap, but may be expensive

The ₹44 trick may sound beneficial, but if the number is switched off then problems may increase. Therefore, it is wise to adopt a safe method.
