Nopes. Its not an automatic process. He will need to speak to CC to confirm the deposit on his account and then only those buggers will process it. Saw this issue when migrating from Airtel to Vodafone.
A-VO-ID: Do a minimum RC of Rs.35 per 28days or No outgoing calls (Even with Main Balance!)

It is, Got mine around 12k refunded from Idea.
Well, that's Idea for you. Airtel is a complete **************
I beg to differ about Jio having good coverage in the cities. Jio is crap in all kinds of places either because of over saturation or lack of coverage. The only reason many people latched on to the service is because they gave services free of cost under the pretext of testing while flouting regulations with the help of their political influence while their competitors were prevented from doing so.
Also, this Rs35 min recharge is a trend started by Jio itself which requires min recharge of Rs 49. So other vendors are also moving towards the same and in fact encouraging users towards the UL plans.
In any case, it makes sense from their perspective. This has nothing to do with people using Jio. There are way too many people who use phones just for incoming without ever spending any money. The networks are over saturated and need operators to invest to expand while not getting any revenues. So this exercise is really about trimming their customer base. They want people not generating minimum revenues to move out from the network and make way for those who do.
I have two Airtel numbers and my spend on both combined is under Rs 50 over last one year. No, I don't use Jio for calls. I do have a Jio sim on JioFi, but I hardly ever use it. So you very well understand why they need to this.

@Lord Nemesis Read somewhere that now ARPU is more important than subscriber numbers for the markets, since there is consolidation in the sector.
If all of them port to Jio, annual revenue would be ZERO!
Yes, at the same time they need to spend more than Rs.35/- per month to continue outgoing calls.

I was in the same situation with my mom's phone in spite of having 700 odd bucks in the main balance.
You have to recharge with 35 again on top of whatever balance you might have.Its like a bank mandating a minimum deposit every month or else they gobble up your account altogether.
Once my balance runs out I will port my secondary and tertiary numbers to MTNL .
I'm on Vodafone now .
My outgoing calls are very few .
Always connected to WiFi .
I use a maximum of 100 mb ( no photos or videos when on data ) per month .
Hardly any WhatsApp .
Only work related emails .

Not surprisingly, these bhikari companies are showing their true Colors. Since the outgoing validity is over, they're not even allowing the supposedly toll-free Port sms.
So looks like one port sms is gonna cost 35 bucks...[DOUBLEPOST=1544780588][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, some clarifications. I was under the impression that the porting sms is toll-free but it's chargeable 1 rupee.
And since i don't have an active plan, I can't use my existing balance to send the sms...

Does anyone know if this will work in lieu of the Rs. 35 etc plans?
highly doubt it.
