Is Vi barring incoming calls?

My recharge ended on 20 November. I was ok to not recharge for sometime. I observed since yesterday that is from 8th day of recharge ended that Vi is barring incoming calls too.

When dialled it says the number is out of coverage area! Sometimes it says incoming is barred on this number.

198 has stopped giving option to talk to customer care too. Is this allowed to bar even incoming calls? I guess, Vi’s desperation has increased. On Jio the incoming calls are never barred. One of my family member is using Jio even as secondary SIM and haven’t recharged for many months.

Is there any way out of this situation?

Even jio will stop in coming days as it has started cleanup drive and in last month reported 1.9 crore users left jio. These numbers actually are they removed inactive uncharged mobile numbers.

I am having a sim from other state where I used to stayy earlier.
I did recharge of like 10₹ – 20₹ in 2-3 months.
It keeps incoming call/sms active though they keep sending those crap sms for blocking calls ànd all.

Vi & Airtel bars both incoming & out coming post expire of validity plan. Better switch to Jio or BSNL if you need incoming calls.

As far as Punjab circle is concered, they don’t stop incoming SMS so I am happy with that. Also once/twice a month they give 1GB/day free for 7 days and allow sms to 1900 in same period.

Airtel/voda bar incoming calls 7 days from expiry of recharge. Its in terms and conditions

Jio also have same provisions but they don’t bar intentionally

For me incoming calls were working fine from past few months even plan expired way back.
But 2-3 days back they barred the incoming call service but still incoming messages are working.
