General Discussions about Vi (Vodafone Idea)

You can port out to another network without changing the phone number.

Yeah, but I don't want to. It's the only network with decent coverage through the city. Jio and Airtel are below average. I am talking about calls not data.

You can use Vi network in secondary sim as Network vendors (like Nokia, Ericsson etc) with long dues might switch off due to cash crunch in Vi.

Every single thing I use is linked with my Vi number. I am sure they will allow smooth transition. Jio seems to be the only thing that will work in my area then. Airtel is totally crap here.

Same also, man. We used it like landline. After we disconnected the landline years back. Our was a Reliance number. They moved us to Vodafone. From bank to gas bill to cable. It became the default number. Hope, they do something like this during disconnection.
