Ever since the launch of Jio free Internet and free voice calls by Mukesh Ambani, millions of people have started using Jio SIM not only because it is free but also because of the uninterrupted services. After the free internet and free calls period were over, Jio continued to keep its customers intact with the great offers.
As a result, a whole lot of people wants to shift to Jio from their current mobile network without changing their number. This method of shifting from one mobile network to other without changing the mobile number is called porting. If you fall into this category of people who wants to port to Jio then here are few simple steps you need to carry out. Scroll down to see them.
- To port your SIM to Jio, send SMS “PORT<space><your10-digit mobile number>” to 1900 (without double quotes) from the number you would like to port to Jio.
- Now you will receive an SMS which contains UPC code (Universal Product Code) and its expiry details.
- Then download the MyJio App from AppStore. Then generate a Jio coupon code from the app.
- Walk into any of the Reliance Jio/Digital/ Dx mini retailers store near you with your smartphone, UPC code, and Jio coupon code.
