Jio Rs 98 recharge with 28-day validity and 2GB data silently discontinued

This is to make 4G plans expensive & force users to to move to their shit JioFiber.

Quarantined?
Indefinitely

It's well planned move by them earlier it disappeared from 3P recharge portals now removed from My Jio app. Such a foolish move by jio, airtel is providing 12GB data for ₹98 along with voice call through main balance. While jio requires ₹129 to make a call

Yes disappointed indeed but this is done to make recently launched 1299 plan more lucrative as 98+10 RS plan was bundled with same benefits as long term 1299 hence people were not taking long term plan

If I don't recharge after my plan expires, will the sim card get suspended or will I continue to get incoming sms?
I have a old number which I used to recharge with the 98 plan just for the sake of keeping it activated. What is the most cost-effective Jio plan to keep the number active? I sometimes get important OTP's on that number.

Really disappointed. This was my regular plan as I didn't consume loads of data and my call minutes were also limited. I guess I have to go with the ₹329 plan now.

@ap99 Nothing will happen to your SIM as far as it has a Prime membership. I have a secondary SIM that has gone without a recharge for nearly a year and it's still active and receives OTP.

₹129 plan seems to be the lowest now.

My Prime membership ended in Jan this year, when i asked chat/twitter they reassured me that just before expiry the renewal option will pop up. Nothing did & it still I have a Prime membership.

Thank you. I won't recharge then. I just want to continue receiving OTP.

Also if you want a low-cost plan, then Rs. 329 plan for 84 days (with a 10% discount by HDFC PayZapp or Amazon Pay UPI) comes out to be Rs. 98 for 28 days.
(329 - 32.9 = 296.1 for 84 days. For 28 days, it will be 98.7)
