If you have seen “No Service Validity” or “NA service validity” while doing recharge using VI app, Airtel app, or any other telecom operator’s apps, you might be wondering about its meaning. In this article, we will explain everything related to No Service Validity and help you understand the importance of Service Validity recharge.
What is No Service Validity?
Recently, VI (Vodafone & Idea), Airtel, Jio, and other telecom operators made changes in their recharge plans, which introduced the terms “No Service Validity” or “NA validity.” These terms appear in many recharge plans, mainly in talk time-top-up voucher or only data pack.
If you recharge a “No Service Validity” plan on your mobile number, it will only work if there is a Service Validity plan. Meaning, you cannot use NA validity plan without any Service Validity recharge. Most No Service Validity plans of VI and Airtel offer talk-time or data plans at various rates, like ₹10, ₹20, ₹30, ₹50, ₹100, ₹500, etc.
However, now you would need to do a Service Validity recharge plan to use these types of NA validity plans. Otherwise, the outgoing and incoming call will not work, and you would not be able to make calls to anyone. Thus, the NA Validity recharge plan can only be availed in the presence of an active Service Validity recharge plan.
What is Validity NA Means in Recharge of VI or Airtel?
The full form of NA is “Not Applicable,” which means initial Service Validity recharge does not apply to the unlimited plan, and there is no expiry date for the same. But there is no benefit of doing an NA validity recharge plan as it would not work if there is no Service Validity recharge plan.
It is mandatory to recharge your phone number with the Service Validity recharge plan to keep your phone number working. Until and unless the service validity recharge plan is not active on your number, you would not be able to use any services, even incoming call function.
What is Service Validity Recharge?
The Service Validity recharge plan is a limited validity plan in which services are provided to us. Service validity recharge plans are necessary to use any services like incoming and outgoing calls, SMS, or internet. Until and unless the Service Validity recharge plan is active, you cannot use any services. Therefore, it is mandatory to recharge your phone number with valid Service Validity recharge plans to keep your phone number working.
What is No Outgoing SMS Recharge Plan?
In the No outgoing SMS recharge plan, you cannot send SMS to anyone if you have recharged this plan on your phone number. If you need to send SMS, you need to recharge other plans in which outgoing SMS is allowed. Except for outgoing SMS, all other services like internet and calls will be available according to the recharge plan, and you can receive SMS from anyone.
What is Existing Validity Plan Recharge?
The existing validity recharge plan is the same as No Service Validity or NA Validity recharge plans. However, this plan offers some limited validity on the recharge plan. To keep your phone number working, you will have to recharge your phone with the existing validity recharge plan, which would provide the required validity period.
Conclusion
To sum it up, recharging your phone with the Service Validity recharge plan is a must to use any services like internet, outgoing, or incoming call features. So, it is essential to understand the different types of recharge plans and make the necessary recharges to keep your phone number working.
