The official Jio WhatsApp numbers (as of 2024)
Jio provides verified WhatsApp support through its official “JioCare” Business accounts. As of 2024, the commonly published numbers are +91 70007 70007 for mobile services (prepaid/postpaid) and +91 70005 70005 for JioFiber broadband. These accounts appear with a green verified checkmark and the business name “JioCare” on WhatsApp. Always verify the green tick and the About/Business Info before sharing any information.
For quick access, you can also start the chat from inside the MyJio app: Profile icon → Help & Support → Chat on WhatsApp. Alternatively, visit Jio’s official contact page at https://www.jio.com/contact-us and follow the WhatsApp link. Avoid using numbers found on third-party forums or images without cross-checking on Jio’s official channels.

What you can do on Jio WhatsApp and how to start
To begin, save the relevant number and send a simple “Hi”. The bot will respond instantly with a menu. Typical options include balance and usage details, current plan and validity, recharge/pack purchase, bill download (postpaid/Fiber), status of service requests, SIM loss/PUK help, and port-in assistance (MNP). For JioFiber, you can also run basic troubleshooting steps for ONT/router, check outage status, or schedule a technician visit.
Jio’s WhatsApp flows are optimized for both English and Hindi, with additional regional language options commonly available. In most cases, routine queries are resolved by the bot within 30–90 seconds. If your issue needs a human agent (for example, complex billing disputes or persistent network faults), you can request “Chat with agent” within the menu. Expect a short queue before an agent joins, especially during peak hours (evenings and weekends).
Service hours, response times, and escalation
WhatsApp support is available 24×7 for self-help and bot-led flows. Live agents typically staff extended hours daily; when agents are offline or queues are high, the bot will accept your details and create a service request. You’ll receive a ticket ID that generally starts with “SR” (for example, SR0000XXXXXX) via WhatsApp and SMS.
For connectivity or billing escalations, reply with your SR number and request escalation. If you do not get a satisfactory response within the promised SLA (commonly 24–72 hours depending on issue type and region), you can escalate via the helpline (199/198), email ([email protected]), or the MyJio “Service request” section where you can add notes and attachments.
Security checklist: avoid scams and protect your account
Because WhatsApp is widely used, look-alike numbers and impostor profiles are common. Jio’s official accounts carry the green verified badge and display “JioCare” as the business name. Jio will never ask for your full card/PIN, UPI PIN, or to install remote-access apps. Payments are processed only through secure Jio links (domain: jio.com or trusted PSPs) and the MyJio app.
You control your opt-in. If you no longer wish to receive messages, reply “STOP” to the JioCare WhatsApp thread. For privacy, share only what’s necessary: your Jio number or JioFiber Service ID when asked within the verified chat. For lost SIM or suspected account takeover, immediately use WhatsApp to request SIM block and follow up with 199 or visit a Jio Store with ID proof.
- Verify the green badge and “JioCare” name; avoid unverified numbers and groups.
- Never share OTPs, CVV, card/UPI PINs, or remote-access codes on chat.
- Pay only on official jio.com links or the MyJio app; avoid QR codes from strangers.
- Use “STOP” to opt-out; use MyJio → Settings → Communication preferences to manage messages.
- Report impostors via WhatsApp “Report business” and notify @JioCare on X (Twitter).
Alternatives to WhatsApp support (when you need faster or different help)
If WhatsApp is slow or you need voice support, call from your Jio number: 199 (general care) or 198 (complaints). From non-Jio numbers in India, dial 1800-889-9999 (toll-free). For JioFiber voice assistance, 1800-896-9999 is widely used for broadband-specific support. Keep your Jio number or JioFiber Service ID, registered email, and last recharge/bill details handy to speed up verification.
You can also raise and track tickets in the MyJio app: Help & Support → Service Requests. Email support is available at [email protected] for documentation-heavy issues (attach screenshots/bills). For public escalation, Jio’s official handle @JioCare on X (Twitter) is responsive—avoid posting personal data publicly; share via DM only.
Typical use cases and practical tips
Balance and plan: On WhatsApp, choose “My Account” → “Balance/usage” to get real-time data usage and plan validity. For prepaid, you can complete a recharge in under a minute via a secure payment link; for postpaid, you can fetch and download a PDF bill for the last 6 months. JioFiber users can check current plan speed (e.g., 30, 100, 300, 500, 1000 Mbps) and renewal date instantly.
Outages and technical support: If your JioFiber light is red or internet is down, the bot can run line tests, suggest router reboot/ONT checks, and confirm area outages. If a visit is required, you can pick a slot, typically within 24–48 hours in metro circles. For mobile network issues (call drops, low data speed), raise a network complaint with your location; you’ll receive an SR ticket and estimated resolution time.
How to verify authenticity and keep records
When your chat begins, tap the business name at the top to view “Business info” and confirm the verified badge, official domain (jio.com), and catalog/links. Save the contact as “JioCare (Verified)” to avoid confusion with spam. If you receive a payment link, ensure the URL uses HTTPS and the jio.com domain before proceeding.
After any transaction or ticket creation, take a screenshot of the WhatsApp message showing the SR number, date, and summary. Jio typically sends parallel SMS/email confirmations. Keeping these records helps if you need to escalate to senior support, nodal officers, or the appellate authority for your service area.
Quick reference and corporate details
Head office: Reliance Corporate Park, MIDC, Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra 400701, India. Website: https://www.jio.com. As of mid-2024, Jio reported over 470 million mobile subscribers nationwide, handling millions of support interactions monthly across digital channels. WhatsApp is among the fastest self-service routes for straightforward tasks, while complex cases may require a hybrid approach (WhatsApp + call + on-site visit).
If in doubt about any number or link, default to the MyJio app or the contact page on jio.com to re-initiate the chat safely. This simple habit prevents most fraud and ensures you’re speaking to the genuine JioCare team.
