On what basis you concluded this?

Just like banks give database to unrelated companies, people for 'loan recovery'

same way Jio often has this fake tele-calling team of vendors (who are like retention team).

These are fraudulent tactics most of the time, nothing more.

Porting out of some companies also results in similar calls.
But this time the caller acts like they are calling from the company in which one is porting into.
Then they do social engineering to somehow get the cancellation code.

thanks for your detailed response..

Yes - I agree with you the retention team (out-sourced vendor) called me ..(told me that they are calling from jio)

What will be your suggestion on recharging [my sim card is 4years old] ?

In some circles they might be getting lean with trimming costs or increasing revenues,
one can easily keep the number active either by lowest plan top-up every 100 days or so.

Else if free MNP offers from retailers come by, have it shifted for a few months, but re-entry into Jio
even by MNP may not always be entirely free.

- Keep SIM active (connected to Jio Network)

- Keep balance of ₹20+

- Recharge every 3 months for minimum amount.

- Initiate atleast 1 call during those 3 months.

How you are getting calls from Jio?

Is it on same number?

I also get calls, but I simply ignore those calls.

2 years

no balance

still active
