These rules have changed for SIM cards

If the SIM card is stolen or damaged, now you will have to wait a bit to get a new SIM. Earlier, after the SIM card was stolen or damaged, you used to get a SIM card immediately from the store. But now in this case its locking period has been increased. Now users will have to wait for 7 days. Only after this will the users get a new SIM card. According to the new rule, people who have swapped their SIM cards in recent days will not be able to port their mobile number. Customers will be able to do this work after 7 days. That is, after the change in the MNP rule, you will get a new miss card only after the next seven days.

Why was the decision taken?

It was revealed in many cases that once the SIM card was stolen, the number was activated on another SIM card. After this, some other incident is carried out. Now this decision was taken with the aim of preventing such online scam incidents. A notification was issued by TRAI in March regarding this. Now users like Airtel, Vodafone Idea, Reliance Jio need to be alert.
