Reliance Jio offers are surely attracting a lot of people and that’s the reason all the Reliance Jio stores are witnessing long queues outside their shops. But then with this high demand the company is not being able to match the supply of SIMs and the process of providing Jio SIMs is getting delayed. To meet this demand the company decided to allow the willing customers to port their SIMs of other mobile network providers to Reliance Jio. This process started from the 5th of September and a lot of people have opted for this option since then.
Apart from unlimited 4G data, Jio is also offering unlimited SMS, hotspot data, zero roaming charges, extra data for students and many other offers. The unlimited data offer that is being provided under the Jio Preview offer lasts till 31st December 2016 and people want to make the most out of it.
Mobile Number Portability service of Jio
From 5th September Jio is offering the Mobile Number Portability or MNP options to the customers of Airtel, Idea, Vodafone, BSNL, Aircel, Docomo, and others, so that they can shift to Reliance Jio network service without changing their mobile numbers. With this option the customers of other mobile network can easily change to Jio network and not even change their existing number.
This portability service can be provided by any mobile network company only after they have got the LRN which is like a license that allows a company for the MNP service. So Jio has also obtained this license so customers from any India based mobile network company can port to Reliance Jio.
