As an aside: Jio systems are far superior to Vodafone where inspite of having a 4G sim VOLTE was NOT started automatically. had to make THREE trip to their pathetic store to get it activated. Here everything is automated which works (unlike most systems of other service providers)

@socrates Vodafone is pretty much clueless about VoLTE lmao, although it works fine most of the time. In my father's phone though, I had to send them an email to activate VoLTE. Didn't go to the store.

@Crazyguy030601 I had to go inspite of giving all the details via DM on twitter but to be fair, for other family members I did it thru twitter only no visits

Not sure about:- One number, Multiple devices: You can now configure the same 10 digit
JioFixedVoice number on up to 6 smartphones and a landline phone.

Can anyone explain?

Something like 1+6 landline instruments in parallel. On an inckming call, all 7 instruments ring, if they are within the wifi range. You can make an outgoing call from any of the 7 instruments.

Also, you have the call forwarding facility when not reachable, busy or no response.

Go to My Devices option where list of connected devices to your WiFi will show and then check if any "pencil icon" for renaming is showing between devices names and Block button?

@SG_curiosity
A1) I noticed it just Today, it is showing "Limited Period" instead of "30 Days". But, Validity is shown as 30 days under "Upcoming Plans".
A2) I was able to recharge my account. I did not remember SMS but I received Email about the Recharge and same can be seen under "Upcoming Plans"

A3) Nope. No Pencil/Edit icon.

1. My 3 Months preview (Silver JPO, I think) supposed to end on 15-August. But, sometime in first week of Aug, I activated Landline Service and so validity got extended by another 30 days and Plan changed to "JioFiber Combo"

2. Today morning, after notificing "Limited Preview" I recharged using it. But, Since my current plan is not expired. Recharged plan is displayed under "Upcoming Plans". All the Upcoming Plans showing 30 days.

3. I just activated ALL 100gb plan from "Upcoming Plans". Newly activated plans' validity says 19-Sept. But, existing 40gb have old validity.
