Port Vodafone Idea(Vi) to Jio Online: Reliance Jio has emerged as one of India’s largest telecom providers, offering nationwide 4G VoLTE access and soon entering the 5G market. To expand its customer base, Jio provides attractive prepaid and postpaid options along with benefits like Disney+ Hotstar VIP access and free subscriptions to Jio applications. Additionally, Jio offers perks such as in-flight connection packs and long-validity packs for prepaid users.
If you’re a Vodafone Idea user and wish to port to Jio, the process is straightforward. You can transfer your mobile number to Jio prepaid or postpaid services either online or by visiting a nearby store.
