Switching from Airtel to Jio is pretty straightforward, and you don’t even need to change your number. If you’re wondering how to port Airtel to Jio, here’s a simple breakdown of what you need to do:
Steps to Port Airtel to Jio:
- Get your UPC code: Text “PORT <Your Airtel Number>” to 1900. This will give you a Unique Porting Code (UPC), which you’ll need for the porting request.
- Visit a Jio Store: Go to any nearby Jio store or authorized retailer. Take your valid ID proof and a passport-sized photo along with you. Your number should be active with Airtel for at least 90 days before you can port.
- Submit your documents: At the Jio store, show your UPC code, submit your documents, and fill out the necessary forms.
- Wait for activation: The porting process typically takes about 7 days. During this time, your Airtel SIM will be temporarily inactive, but don’t worry, your number stays the same.
Key Points to Remember
- Charges: You might need to pay a small fee for porting, depending on your location.
- Active Airtel Number: Your Airtel number needs to be active for at least 90 days to be eligible for porting.
- Smooth Transition: The process is pretty smooth, and you won’t lose your contacts or any data during the switch.
