I have everything documented and I may escalate this, not just for myself, but for others who are being scammed by these companies.February 8, 2025 at 10:54 am in reply to: Vi Forcing Postpaid Conversion for SIM Reactivation โ Legal? #57998UUser_a7b28d78

February 8, 2025 at 10:54 amThe plan expired on October 8, 2024. I visited the Vi store on January 15 to request them to block the number. Today (February 8), they called and informed me that the number is available for reactivation, but it can only be done by paying postpaid charges.**Charges:**
* โน551 per month + 18% GST = โน650 (I need to pay this for 4 months before converting my SIM back to prepaid).
* **Security deposit:** โน298
* **Prepaid conversion charge (after 4 months):** โน331February 8, 2025 at 10:06 am in reply to: Vi Forcing Postpaid Conversion for SIM Reactivation โ Legal? #57996UUser_a7b28d78

By grace period, I was referring to the following point from the TRAI document
“A consumer whose connection is deactivated shall be given a grace period of 15 days within which he can reactivate the same number;”
(https://trai.gov.in/what-s-new/trai-released-regulation-deactivation-cellular-mobile-telephone-connections-due-non). My SIM was already deactivated, and I was not able to recharge it myself. When I contacted Vi customer care, they informed me that I had to visit the Mi Store for reactivation.However, I might have misunderstood this point. If my interpretation is incorrect, please feel free to correct me.
