How did you get 12 coupon at initial setup?
I did not get that part...
 
I've been thinking about porting my Vodafone number to Jio. Primarily I am using Airtel.
 
I am using this plan from BSNL as I do not need data on the 2nd sim. Mainly use it for incoming(OTP etc...)

See if you make a lot of calls, get the ₹129 Jio plan, since it gives unlimited calls plus 2Gb data.

If data is more of a priority, I’d suggest going for Airtel‘s ₹79 plan + ₹49 plan. The ₹79 plan gives you ₹63 talktime for making calls and the ₹49 adds 3Gb of data which is 2Gb more than the ₹129 plan of Airtel plus 4 extra days of validity.

Jio‘s is value for money overall ofcourse if you intend to make lots of voice calls. Otherwise if you take the Airtel combo ₹79 + ₹49 = ₹128, you get overall value on data use.

i was looking for plan mentioned by you where I can get free incoming for a year on just 1 month recharge. Can you specify that plan and how to get it?

i have no need for data or talktime. Just a sim that I can use in my old smart phone for incoming, for apps like signal, WhatsApp, true caller. Will be using WiFi for my data needs on this 2nd SIM.

@igloo How reliable is the internet connectivity?

Coverage is the best. LTE only mode on samsung phones made battery drain to minimal. Speed has increased to double digit most of the time after recent spectrum addition. 10mhz@ band 3 and band 5.
I can even band lock to band of my choice on samsung mobile via band selection app. Band selection doesn't work on VI network.
I guess because jio uses samsung equipment at backend. I locked to band 5 all the time. So getting 10-15 mbps even during peak hours.
 
@pudu123 There's no plan that explicitly states you'll get 1 year validity except the ones priced >₹1200. Jio tends to keep a SIM active with incoming ongoing even if you don't recharge after the first month if the SIM has Prime enabled. So I was suggesting you to take the ₹129 plan which gives those benefits for a month and then you'll get incoming for a year. I said this thinking maybe you needed a small amount of data and calling capability earlier.

If you already have a Jio Sim, then just recharge it with Prime. Actually you mentioned you've had a SIM that's not been recharged for over a year. I'm wondering if incoming is still active on it or not? If not, you can try to activate prime on it and see if incoming starts again. No need to do anything else. If you don't have one, or if that old SIM has been deactivated, then get one with ₹149 (FRC) + ₹99 (prime).

Yeah I have a secondary SIM on just this plan. It's an excellent long term plan. Gives validity for an entire year at such a low cost. No private operator has such a cheap plan with such a long validity.
