I have been hearing this since a long time that Jio disconnects numbers after 90 days for not recharging. But haven't encountered same personally. I have active numbers which I haven't recharge for years. Can you guys confirm whether Jio disconnected your inactive numbers?

Edit : In which circle your number was deactived?

Yes, one of my number very old Jio number (first one) got disconnected after three years of no recharge. I even received a message confirming the same on my Jio account.

It said:
Dear Customer,

For any queries or support, please call us on 199 from your Jio Number or on 18008899999 from any number. You can also write to us at [email protected].

Thank you,

Till my own number was disconnected, I used to think they never disconnect any numbers. Hearing from people their numbers got disconnected was almost unbelievable to me since none in my f&f got their numbers disconnected. They hardly do it I believe.
 
One of my numbers got disconnected after not recharging (Happened like 1.5-2 yrs back)....
 
DoT should make a rule that they wont allot new MSC codes to operators whose VLR value is lower than 95%. Then all operators would start disconnecting inactive numbers and recycling them. Jio currently wants to boast high subscriber market share which has crossed 34% but their VLR value is just 78% as against 98% for Airtel.
Jio will only disconnect inactive numbers in circles where it's market share is nearing 50% and it needs to shed few subscribers in order to be able to add new ones.
 
I waited for almost 1.5 years and then complained at PGPortal. Within 3 days I received an email that the number has been deactivated as per your request. I also have 2 unused Airtel SIM cards that have not been used for 3 years and are still active. Both the numbers are from UPE circle and even complaining to PGPortal isn't doing anything. I also had an Airtel Rajasthan SIM that was deactivated after 6 months.

In my circle VI has been most active in activating numbers.
