Step By Step Guide on how to Port your Number to Jio

Reliance Jio has disrupted the telecom market since its launch It had started with providing free calls and ultra-low cost 4G data to consumers across India. Free voice calling and lucrative data prices are sure to tempt many users to make the switch to Jio networks. Instead of getting a new number, you can opt for mobile number portability (MNP) to shift to the Reliance Jio network without changing your phone number. And this is the main reason for many customers switching to Jio for their amazing benefits. So here is the step by step guide on how to port your existing number to Jio.

1. First up, you need to send a text message to your current operator requesting for a port out. The message PORT should be sent to 1900. In return, you will receive a Unique Porting Code from 1901 with 15 days validity from your current carrier.
2. Head to any Reliance Mobile Store or retailer and fill up the Customer Application Form (CAF) where you’ll also fill in the porting code. Don’t forget to carry your Aadhaar Card and a photograph. Jio will activate the connection through eKYC process. Once activated, this SIM will use the same phone number you already had, and your old SIM will be deactivated.
3. The Reliance Jio SIM could take up to 7 days to activate, and a fee of Rs. 19 will be charged. During porting, your number might be dead for about two hours (sometime between 10pm and 5am) before the new Reliance Jio SIM gets activated. Once your current SIM starts showing “No Service”, it’s likely time to put in your new Reliance Jio SIM.
4. Once ported, the Jio SIM should be activated, and remember you cannot use MNP to go back to your earlier operator or someone else for at least 90 days.
5. After the connection is through, you must dial 1977 from your Jio SIM for verification. You will be asked to insert the last four digits of your identity proof.
