How To Activate Jio SIM
Activating your Jio SIM card is a pretty straightforward process. Place the Jio SIM card into the SIM slot of your mobile device. Dial 1977 from your Jio SIM to initiate the tele-verification process.
Here’s a breakdown of the general steps, depending on whether you have a physical SIM or an eSIM:
For Physical SIM cards:
1. Insert the SIM: Place the Jio SIM card into the SIM slot of your mobile device.
2. Tele-verification: Dial 1977 from your Jio SIM to initiate the tele-verification process.
3. Verification: You’ll be guided through a verification process, which usually involves one of the following:
- Entering a 5-digit PIN received on your alternate mobile number (provided during SIM purchase)
- Entering the last 4 digits of your Aadhaar number
- If those options don’t work, you might be connected to a customer service representative for manual verification.
4. Activation: Once the verification is successful, your Jio SIM should be activated shortly. You’ll typically receive a confirmation SMS.
For eSIMs:
1. Initiate Activation: You’ll usually receive an SMS with instructions on how to activate your eSIM. This often involves sending an SMS to a specific number with details like your eSIM registered email address.
2. Receive Configuration: Jio will then send you an email containing the eSIM configuration details.
3. Install eSIM: Follow the instructions in the email to install the eSIM profile on your device. This process might vary slightly depending on your device manufacturer.
