Excited? Let’s raise a Jio eSIM request
For any phone model or any new or existing Jio number, raise a request through SMS following the below steps.
STEP 1
Send SMS to request
Type GETESIM<32-digit EID><15-digit IMEI> and send it to 199 from the Jio number you wish to activate eSIM on.
STEP 2
Give consent via SMS
To give your consent, type ‘1’ and send it to 199. With that, you'll get the eSIM profile and a QR code via SMS and email respectively.
STEP 3
Confirm on IVR call
Answer an IVR call from +91 2235072222 and press ‘1’ to confirm. Within 2 hours, you can activate your eSIM following our how-to guide.
Note: If you are outside India, send the SMS to +917021999199 instead of 199 for an eSIM request. For that, the Jio number you wish to upgrade for eSIM must have an active international roaming plan to send SMS and receive incoming calls. Note that SMS and incoming calls will be charged as per the applicable roaming rates in the host country.
