Over the past few years, the prices of mobile recharge plan have increased, making many users have difficulty using secondary SIM. Secondary SIM is often used only for bank service or good network coverage. Therefore, the question of how long the SIM card continues without recharge.
According to the rules of telecom companies, if you have not used your SIM for 90 days (ie, no call, SMS or internet data), your SIM card is deeable. This rule applies to major companies such as Geo, Airtel and Vodafone Idea (VI).
If your mobile account has more than 20 rupees, the telecom companies will automatically cut Rs 20 from it to increase the validity of your SIM for another 30 days. This process continues until the balance in your account is less than Rs 20. Once the balance is over, your SIM is decorated.
If your SIM is decorated, you get 15 days to re -activate it. During this period, you can re -turn your SIM by paying a fee of Rs. If you do not do this in 15 days, your number will be closed permanently and it cannot be reused.
In short, Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea users can get incoming calls and messages for about 90 days without recharge. But no outgoing call, data or SMS can be used during this period. Therefore, if you want to continue your secondary SIM for a long time, it is necessary to use it from time to time or maintain a minimum balance.
