The issue seems to affect those who have not done any recharge for a long time, especially close to a year. As per claims shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Abhishek Yadav, daily deactivations are being reported by users across regions. This means if your SIM is inactive or only used for incoming calls, it may be at risk. To avoid losing your number, doing a small recharge now can help keep your SIM active and working without interruption.
