A step-by-step guide to booking a postpaid Jio SIM card with desired digits combination

Step 2: Click the result that says “Buy Mobile Number of Your Choice” (It should be the first result most likely). After reaching the page, click on Get Started.

Step 3: Enter your existing mobile number for future communication and click on Generate OTP.

Step 4: On the next window, enter the OTP and click Submit.

Step 5: Enter a minimum of four digits of your desired number combination (you can enter up to six digits), Name and Pincode in the next window. 

Step 6: In the next screen, choose your desired number from the options given.

Step 7: Click Book next to the number of your choice. 

Step 8: Make the payment and you will receive a booking code. 

Keep the booking code with you. The Jio agent will ask for the booking during the delivery of the SIM card. The SIM card must be activated in the next 15 days.
