Are you not recharging your SIM card?
Do you know that if you don’t recharge your mobile, your SIM card in it will be activated.. After a few days your mobile number will be assigned to someone else. But do you know how many days your SIM will not work if it is not recharged? What are the regulations of telecom companies? Here are more details like how long a deactivated SIM will work.
Everyone is using dual sims these days. That means everyone has two phone numbers. Some people use three or even four SIMs for different purposes. They also belong to different networks. Because even if there is no signal to one SIM, you can call another SIM number. Similarly, the internet facility is also activated if the SIM card has the highest signal in your area. Everyone uses two SIMs like this.
However, some SIM cards stop recharging because the signals are not good and the recharge prices have increased. If the SIM is deactivated without recharging then the number will be allotted to someone else by the telecom company. That’s why sometimes our close friends say that someone else is talking when they call you. It is necessary to know completely about SIM card uses, expiry date etc.
Many people do not know how to use a SIM card. Only the number that is called regularly is recharged. Don’t care much about other numbers. They stop recharging because they don’t need outgoing services to see if incoming calls are coming. But what many people do not know is that if the basic plan of the SIM card is not recharged, the outgoing calls and data services will be stopped after 30 days. This decision depends on the respective telecom companies. All telecom companies like Airtel, Jio, BSNL, Vodafone-Idea usually stop outgoing services after a month. Completely de-activated if not recharged for 90 days or more.
But many people want not to miss that number even if they don’t use the SIM card. Because that number is connected or because it is a fancy number, most people do not want to lose this number in contact. If such SIM is deactivated due to various reasons, it usually takes 6 to 9 months to restore the service. After that recharging the number will reactivate it.
To reactivate a de-activated SIM card you need to contact your network service provider customer care. Go to the network organization and do the variation with new KYC documents. After this process is completed the SIM will be activated again. Usually this entire process takes approximately one year to complete. It is important to recharge the phone number you need from time to time with the basic plan rather than going to such an effort.
