How to Use Jio SIM on Another 4G Phone: A Comprehensive Guide

Many users wonder if they can activate a Jio SIM in one 4G phone and use it on another 4G phone. This article provides a detailed guide on how to make this possible, exploring the conditions and steps involved.

Overview of Jio SIM Usage Across Devices

A Jio SIM with Prime Membership can generally be moved to any other smartphone by simply swapping the SIM card. However, a Jio Phone Non-Prime SIM with a Jio Phone Plan cannot be used in another smartphone. In such cases, the existing Jio Phone Plan will need to be removed, and a new Smartphone Plan needs to be applied for the SIM to work on another device.

Steps to Use Jio SIM on Another 4G Phone

The following steps can be followed to use a Jio SIM on another 4G phone:

Insert the Jio SIM into your smartphone. Go to the settings and set the preferred network type to LTE/4G. Recharge the SIM with a regular Jio Plan suitable for smartphones. Call 19914 to activate your plan. Enjoy your Jio SIM on the smartphone.

Recharging for Regular Usage

If you want to use your JioPhone SIM in another 4G VoLTE phone, you can recharge the SIM with regular plans. This will allow you to utilize its features in a non-JioPhone device.

Using Jio App for Recharge

For simpler and quicker recharges, you can use the Jio app. After downloading and logging in with your mobile number and OTP, you can perform a recharge. There is an option for various recharges, including Jio Prime Membership for Rs. 99/-, which can be used in a normal phone as well.

Note: It is recommended to avoid recharging with any plan specifically designed for Jio phones, as it may not work on other phones. Always opt for a regular plan if you are planning to use the SIM on another device.

Personal Experience and Considerations

Based on personal experience, using a Jio SIM in another 4G phone should not cause any problems. However, it is essential to ensure that the phone has VoLTE support for making voice calls over data. The SIM is not tied to the device, and after insertion into another phone, some install SMSes might be received to ensure data connection and other functionalities.

It's important to recharge with non-JioPhone plans to avoid issues:

If you recharge with a Jio Phone-specific plan, it will only work on the Jio phone. Regular smartphone plans can be used to activate the Jio SIM on another 4G VoLTE phone.

By keeping these points in mind, you can successfully use your Jio SIM on various 4G phones, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
