Questions
Can I buy a Jio roaming pack from the UAE with a foreign card?
Yes. Jio's own app and site are built around Indian cards, UPI and Indian net banking, which is why cards issued in the UAE often fail there. Here you pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in your own currency and the pack is applied to your Indian number in about a minute, with an email receipt carrying the operator's transaction ID.
What does a Jio international roaming pack do for me abroad?
It lets your Indian SIM register on a partner network in the UAE, so the number keeps receiving calls and SMS: bank and UPI one-time passwords, Aadhaar and government OTPs, WhatsApp verification codes and calls from family. Packs also include some minutes and data; the exact allowance, validity and covered countries are set by Jio and shown on its site.
Which Jio roaming packs can I buy here?
Right now: INTL Roaming Voice & Data (INR 898, $20.20); INTL Roaming Voice & Data (INR 1598, $35.41); INTL Roaming Voice & Data (INR 2998, $65.81). Enter your number above to confirm which apply to your line.
Does the pack keep my Indian number from being deactivated?
Buying a pack is a paid recharge, so it counts as activity on the line. Under TRAI's Telecom Consumers Protection (Sixth Amendment) Regulations, 2013, which bind Jio and every Indian operator, a prepaid connection cannot be deactivated for any period of non-usage shorter than 90 days, is not deactivated at all while the balance is ₹20 or more, and after deactivation the same number can be reactivated within 15 days. Any incoming or outgoing call, outgoing SMS or data use counts as usage.
I only want data abroad, not my Indian number. What then?
A travel eSIM is far cheaper per GB than a roaming pack. See our Jio roaming vs eSIM comparison and keep the Indian SIM in the second slot with a small recharge for OTPs.
Do I need the SIM in my phone when I buy?
No. The pack is applied to the number on the operator's side. To use it you need the SIM in a phone with international roaming switched on.
