Jiophone Plan on Smartphone.

today morning some one contacted via PM and he asked :- Bro, Jiophone recharge works to receive calls/msg? I don’t want to make calls, just want to make it active. Just want to receive calls/sms.

first i have to tell something. after that i will answer the question.

i purchased Jio sim at jio store and used it on my smartphone. after some months i purchased Jiophone separately. so my Jio sim is not related to Jiophone. but now, i am using my Jio sim on my Jiophone. i was recharged it with Jiophone plan 98/-

today i removed Jio sim from my Jiophone inserted back to my smartphone and tested calls & msgs.
when i make outgoing calls, i heard “you don’t have sufficient balance to make calls” but i have above 500/- main balance. outgoing SMS also failed.
internet connectivity failed too.

i sent SMS from BSNL sim and successfully received in Jio sim.
i made outgoing call from Airtel and successfully received to Jio sim.

finally, we can use Jio sim that recharged with Jiophone plan but we cannot make calls and SMS.
we can receive calls and SMS.

Funniest point:- when i heard “you don’t have sufficient balance” i scared about my Jio main balance. is it deducted after inserting to smartphone? NO… no balance deduction happened. Thanks to Jio.
