    Probably this is the first post in December in the forum. See how Jio changed everything. Any way I came here for my old friends who could help me. 

    As of now Airtel and Vodafone introduced monthly min. recharge of 23/35, and my father speaks 30-40 min/day even less and does not use data. He uses airtel prepaid. What could be the best option for him? Should he port to BSNL ?

     

    daily 30-40 min is not very light use. does BSNL have a plan to suit that. also how good is BSNL signal at your location? Have you thought of Jio 98 plan?

    Though it is going to fetch them some quick revenue but is surely going to affect their future business, since many lifetime validity users were suppose to recharge a minimum of ₹200 every 6 months to continue their services and now forced recharging for them will only yield ₹55 extra ( since ₹35X13 = ₹455 i.e. ₹55 extra for 13X28 days= 364 days). No customer will ever want to live with the fear of losing outgoing after 28 days without any grace period if he forgets to recharge on the last day.

    IMHO it is a short term revenue collection policy and TRAI is equally involved since this violates the TRAI's 90 days disconnection policy.

    those who use only for incoming would wait till 28+15 (43) days to do validity recharge. so they would be paying about 300 now instead of the earlier 400.

    And yes TRAI regulations are violated as the to the Telecom Consumer Protection Regulation (Sixth Amendment) Rules specify that connection can not be discontinued as long as the main balance is more than Rs.20, but Rs20/30 days can be deducted for inactive numbers.

    for those who have jio Rs.50 vouchers unused in their account

    open Myjio.

    Go to vouchers and select option to buy voucher.

    select 149 recharge + 11 data voucher

    proceed to pay

    you will get option to use 50 credit voucher, select that

    pay 110 by any method and get one 149 recharge voucher and one 11 data voucher in your account

    these vouchers are not tied to your account and can be transferred to any user.

    thanks

    since i already have a standby smartphone [Lyf Wind4, 4000mAH battery] there is no need for Micromax Bharat 1.

    Jio98 Prepaid Plan [2GB 4G, unlimited voice, 300 SMS - 28 days] is not a "Backup Plan" - Regular Plan for use in Office [no Video/Photos downloads] - Lyf Wind4 [Dual SIM 4G-4G]

    Airtel399 Prepaid Plan [1.4GB 4G Data/day, unlimited voice, 100SMS/day - 84 days] is for Home use - Moto E3 Power [Dual SIM 4G-4G]

    I also have Wind4 as secondary phone. Good phone. But due to RAM limitations, it difficult to put more than a couple of apps. Hoping against hope to get Oreo Go update on it.

    Yes. Asus has enabled that in one of the 3 updates, it has sent after phone launch. Further the updates have improved RAM management and speed of finger print scanning as well.

    VoLTE for Airtel and Vodafone are expected in coming updates as well...

    thanks for the update!

    at present, Jio4G Data Speed crawls at my Home [low Band5 signal, indoors] & Airtel4G is excellent. However, Jio4G is excellent at Office & Airtel4G s**ks [4G-3G-2G frequent changeover, low signal & Battery drains]. Now I carry 2 handsets with me [Moto E3 Power (Airtel4G-Plan399) & Lyf Wind4 (Jio4G-Plan98)]!

     After Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) hits the market, I hope other vendors may also introduce Dual VoLTE handsets!

    I would suggest you get a Micromax Bharat 1 and put the Jio SIM in that. It offers very small form factor and excellent wifi hotspot. As you are using Jio 98mplan, I am assuming that you are using it as the backup plan.

    what is interesting is that Jio has kept the bench mark 149 ARPU level intact and increased the daily data limits.

    for all practical purposes, most people will not be able to consume full daily limit for entire validity, even if they manage for some days. psychologically, Indians would prefer to go for 149 (o its variation of long term ones) recharges instead of the 98 one, even if their requirements are more than satisfied by 2 GB monthly data. of course, thanks to whatsapp, a good amount of data gets used up just with the useless good morning/good night pictures/GIFs/Videos.  

    JIO is using VOIP for voice so no extra charge of voice, as long as the call gets terminated within their own network. so they are trying to ensure just that by attracting as many person on board as possible. by giving the facility of queued recharges and bundling with cashbacks from various wallets, they are also ensuring that once a person is onboard, he/she remains with them for a long time. again, Jio will keep on coming out with offers and Indian psyche would induce people to keep queuing up recharges even though they may have a few queued up already. Mukesh bhai (or is it Mukesh Jr) has found a new way of perpetual contract carrier model on prepaid, without actually spelling it upfront. they have learnt from RIM mistakes.

    so in the end, it would be 149 APRU multiplied by number of users, not a small figure by any measure.

    unlike myAirtel app, myJio app takes ages to load on my Lyf Wind4 [on Airtel 4G/Jio 4G/BSNL Broadband WiFi] - uninstalled! - now using www.jio.com sign-in 

    I also mainly use the web interface. however, myjio works fine on my wind 4 with jio 4G.

    there are many good VOIP apps for doing this. Some of them also support paid versions for calling PSTN/Mobile numbers anywhere in the world. If you really need to call over wifi, try them instead of breaking sweat over wifi calling in Jio. I personally use Viber (presently 2.3 c/min to India, about Rs.1.50 at current exchange rates) but there are others also.

    I use a 2 band dongle - Huawei 8372. B5 is absent. Advantage : if you have signal B3 and B40 gives better speed . But my jiofi 2 always try to go into B5.

    Yes, but for indoors, Band 5 has more penetration power, due to shorter wavelengths, than Band 3 or 40. So Band 5 gives more stable connection indoors, even if a little slow. For most regular work, you need stable signal and speeds rather than bursts of high speeds.

    I ported 2 RCom numbers RCom Delhi postpaid to Voda Kol prepaid and RCom Kol Postpaid to Airtel Kol postpaid.

    For Delhi No RCom raised a balance bill (upto the date of porting) of Rs.28. Vodafone kept sending SMS that Rs.28 is outstanding with previous operator and I need to pay and produce payment receipt at the nearest voda store or my number would be blocked after 2nd Jan.

    For Kol No RCom raised a bill of Rs.350 but no similar SMS received from Airtel.
