I need to switch on airplane mode then off again to get the network working

120mbps download and 6mbps upload. If working then ok since my other gomo 5g sim is 160mbps and 9mbps

it will be a default now that all phone calls need to have Volte as 3G network will be shut down in 2 days (1 Nov). You will need Volte, no matter what.

The line is not terminated even after 60 days. They will just forfeit the money in the wallet if any. I got 2 free SIM which expired since 24Aug. Now I can still login with OTP. It shows the same message "To continue using your service and keep your number please recharge".

They don't need to recycle those numbers?
We can keep the number until we recharge?

I hope the SIM will be delivered to my mailbox by next Monday.
Signed up on Monday. Fingers crossed!
