Vi response for not allowing PORT with minimum amount - pasting only relevant part as a lot of a stuff is usual stories that we have been doing this/that for customers etc

The availability of porting SMS is under discussion with relevant authorities and once finalized, the same will be updated and communicated to all our customers.

Well I am just going to wait it out. My pack without sms is valid till Jan beginning. Then by the time if issue still not resolved will recharge the "minimum" and then towards end of period, do the port.

Pay 128 to Vi and enjoy free 1 month in Jio.

Done deal.

The most unwanted service few years ago has become most necessary service in Banking OTPs & UPIs and hence these mobile operators are encashing the demand. I wish they make OTP packs .... with no data and no calling.

I think calling sms unnecessary is not right. Before WhatsApp and unlimited calling, this is how people use to communicate short messages.

People still do. If you have an iPhone, chances are you're using sms half or more of the time while texting people you know.

When did BSNL start restricting SMS services on its plans ??
