Are you experiencing slow internet connection with your Jio SIM and considering porting your Jio number to Airtel? Switching operators can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re worried about losing your existing number. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to port your Jio number to Airtel while maintaining your existing mobile number with the help of MNP (mobile number portability) service.
Eligibility Criteria for Porting Jio to Airtel
Before proceeding with the process of porting, there are certain eligibility criteria you need to fulfill. Your existing Jio number should be at least 90 days old from the activation date. If you’re using a postpaid Jio SIM, make sure all previous bills are cleared. Additionally, if you’ve purchased any subscriptions or loans from your existing Jio number, they should be paid off before proceeding with the porting process. Make sure to have the same document used during activation, such as your driving license, Aadhar card, or PAN card.
