Has it ever happened to you that you went to recharge your phone and ended up with the wrong number? You might feel like you've wasted money and suffered a loss because you recharged a different number than the one you intended. But now there's no need to worry. Even if you make such a mistake, your money won't be wasted.
Because India's leading telecom company, Reliance Jio, has introduced a special feature for its users. Under this feature, if you recharge to the wrong number, users will get their money back. You could call it a hack or a trick. This allows you to get your money back for a short period of time if you recharge to the wrong number. This will prevent any loss or waste of money.
Jio users will get this feature.
A special thing about this feature of Jio is that you will get your refund if you inform the person whose number you have recharged by mistake. The company has kept a condition for this. The condition of the company is that this recharge has to be done through MyJio only. If you do the wrong recharge through any other app like Paytm, PhonePe or Google Pay, then you will not get the facility of getting your money back. So Jio users should always remember that if you recharge through MyJio, then you can definitely get benefit.
How to get money back if you recharge incorrectly
First, open the MyJio app on your smartphone and click on Transaction History.
Now, click on the transaction history where the recharge was made using the wrong number.
In this section, you'll find the option to cancel your plan within 3 hours of the transaction history.
Click on the Cancel Plan option, and you'll be asked for the reason for canceling the plan and the refund source.
Answer the required questions and cancel the recharge. Afterward, the money will be refunded to the source you specified within a short time.
With this hack or trick, you can get your money back if you accidentally recharged the wrong number. However, keep in mind that you can only get your money back within 3 hours of recharging.
