I had a very old BSNL prepaid sim which i stoped using after i took a new sim of jio in 2018 and so i didn’t gave any importance to grace period 1 and 2 of my BSNL sim. Later it got deactivated on 3rd dec 2018. After that several times i tried to recharge it but it got failed everytime and money was refunded in paytm, google pay, phone pey, etc. I never took any other sim afterwards so it remained in my phone’s sim slot showing connection towers on screen and receiving messages. But outgoing & incoming was blocked. I called customer care several times and they said go to BSNL office for activating it by giving your documents xerox. So finally i reached BSNL csc in nov 2020 and told the guy in office that tower is coming but services are not working. He told me recharge it with 153 and it will be working. I did it and it worked. I told him that customer care on call used to tell me that your sim is dead and there is no other way other than visiting BSNL csc. He laughed and i didn’t had any words so i left.
