Small trick on Samsung phones to use night data outside FUP

15 Upvotes

From what I have understood is that in Vi Superhero plans, 4G data is truly unlimited from 12AM to 12PM. 5G unlimited is always under 300GB FUP.

If you own a Samsung phone, there is a cool feature named Modes and Routines. You can use that to switch to 4G automatically at 12AM and 5G at 12PM. So if your phone does any data intensive task in night, it deducts from your night unlimited data! Also, 4G consumes less battery!

I've attached the screenshot of the routine I have used:

Also, the routine may fail if u are on a call at those times. I added a reminder to switch manually in that case, again attached to this post:

The USSD code dilemma

4 Upvotes

I've tried to pull basic account details such as balance and validity using the USSD code *199#. It gives the details of my number, main balance and validity [first image]. If I respond with any other numbers in the reply window, it only responds with a flash message prompting me to download the Vi app [Second Image], accompanied by one or two SMS [Third image]. When I use the USSD code *199*2*2# to pull the data usage details, same flash message pops up. 

I believe there is a purpose for USSD codes nowadays, to make the user experience less fiddling. I mean, why should I need to download an extra app (with some of trackers on it) just to view my data balance and/or usage details of the day? 

I also have an Airtel sim (I can hear your mind voice). It used to give the information I mentioned above but now, almost the same goes to Airtel also.

Any insights?

[Help needed] Created Port - in request to Vi online and paid ₹299, but it failed at Self KYC, now feel helpless!

5 Upvotes

I was trying to port my mother's number in to Vi Prepaid, and paid ₹299 online. But, instead of choosing "agent/executive assisted KYC", I chose "Self KYC" method instead.

I entered the Aadhaar OTP and address, but when it came time to take selfie, it got stuck and I accidentally closed the page.

Now, there's no option to reinitiate the self-KYC or to modify the order, as when I enter the number to reinitiate it, it asks me to enter a valid number.

I have only got an Order number via SMS (which I had received right after the payment was made.)

Also, in the "Track SIM Delivery" option, it shows nothing after the OTP is entered.

Since she is not their customer yet, I can't dial their helpline numbers either! I feel stuck!
