In today's changing technology, smartphones have replaced landlines. Earlier, one had to go to an STD booth to talk to someone on the phone, but now almost everyone has a mobile phone and that to a smartphone. At the same time, if you want to talk to someone on a mobile phone, then for this you need a SIM card, but it is seen that many people buy SIM cards but do not use them or people leave them like this after some time. In such a situation, if you want, you can get these SIM cards blocked so that they are not in use and no one can misuse them. So let's know what is the way. You can know about this further...

Who can get a SIM card and how?

If you also want to get a SIM card, then for this, first of all, it is mandatory for you to be 18 years of age. If your age is less than this then you cannot buy a SIM card

To buy a SIM card, you need an Aadhaar card and after taking your fingerprints, you are given a SIM card.

This is how you can close the SIM card:-

Step 1
If you also have an extra SIM card which you do not use, then you can close it

For this, first of all, you have to call the customer care center of the SIM company

Step 2
After this, you talk to the customer care here

Then you have to tell them the reason for your call,- if you have called to close the SIM card, then you have to tell them this reason

Step 3
Then customer care asks you for some information for your authenticity

Like- in whose name the connection is, what is the address, etc.

When the information is correct, then your request to close the SIM card is processed

Keep in mind that while closing the postpaid SIM card, you have to first pay your entire outstanding bill. Whereas, there is nothing like this in prepaid SIM cards.
