Earlier sms used to come after service validity expiry (even after 7 days grace period)
Now only Vodafone own SMS comes after grace expiry
No other incoming SMS

Yes one month. Earlier thought it’s phone issue or temp issue but now 100% confirmed
These were one of the advantage Vi had over Airtel especially if one were using it as their secondary number. But it seems they don’t think it that way and hell bent on copying Airtel’s model.
Limited calling/sms+service validity @ 150/m
Unlimited calling @ 200/m
Unlimited calling+ data @ 300-350/month
Ye to hokar hi rhega is saal ke end Tak .
Jio bhi freeloaders ko remove krke ARPU increase kr rha hai . No free incoming 
for freeloaders . Ye bhot accha kaam start Kiya hai jio jald se jald sabhi free/inactive users ko deactivate Krna chahiye taaki jo paisa de rha unka service quality improve.
Vi ko bhi 1gb/day for 7day wala free plan. stop kr dena chahiye . No recharge – no IC/OG sms/calls for freeloaders 
Never faced this hope they don’t apply to my vi number 
I have not recharged my vodafone since last 2 years. Still getting sms and otps
See how specific is their message
“Incoming Calls & SMS (incl. OTP) are STOPPED on your Vi number. To restore, recharge with a Combo/Unlimited pack now.Visit nearest retailer or”
Got the following yesterday:
Alert!Incoming SMS on Vi XXXXXXXXX are STOPPED. You WON’T get OTPs for Banking,Aadhar,etc. Recharge NOW with Vi pack, dial *121#.Ignore if recharged
Still get incoming sms. Just tried a pharmeasy otp to test it out.
Maybe they will block only bank otp so that when you are in urgent need & fail to receive otp, you will take it as a lesson & keep recharging your number proactively. psychological warfare 
Have face this too but much earlier probably 1-2 months back.
They stopped my incoming messages too but once I did a recharge it’s again working like before even right now I am on no plan with incoming call & messages working fine.
Switch to Jio, I was skeptical about Jio from starting but last year I ported 3 postpaid number to Jio prepaid and 4 prepaid numbers as well. Jio has a bad habit of putting my number to switch off or unreachable but that is acceptable as it informs me about the missed call. Incoming calls and sms are aways enabled even if you don’t have an active plan.
The jio call issue you described happens frequently on my mom’s mobile we have the same device ,jio network and same area but the strange thing is only mom’s sim has this problem of call sometimes not connecting
havent recharged my number for about 7-8 months but still otp coming
Lucky you. I cant get bank OTPs even with validity
it is happening with me for more than a month now.
