You can check your recharge plan validity in under a minute by dialing your operator's USSD code, opening the official app, or sending an SMS to a short code, depending on which method works best for your handset and current network coverage.
How Do You Check Validity Using a USSD Code?
Dial your operator's USSD code from the phone keypad, press call, and a flash message will show your current plan, remaining data, and expiry date within a few seconds, without needing any internet connection or app login on the handset.
Common codes are *121# for Airtel, *333# for Jio, *199# for Vi, and *123# for BSNL. They work on every handset.
How Do You Check Validity in the Official App?
Open your operator's official app, sign in with the registered mobile number, and the home screen will display your active plan, daily data balance, and expiry date in a clean card format that updates in real time.
The official apps are Airtel Thanks for Airtel recharge plans, MyJio for Jio recharge plans, Vi App for Vi recharge plans, and BSNL Selfcare. For more terms see our validity period and other glossary terms.
