upgrade done at their doorstep. The service of linking SIM number with the customer's Aadhaar is an important step in line with Vodafone's commitment to a Digital India. I am happy to say that this service has now been made simple and accessible to our valued customers even in remote villages, through our Mobile vans. Over the past 10 months, we have helped thousands of customers with 4G SIM upgrades along with their Vodafone SIM linked with Aadhaar number."
Last week, the government had announced new methods to link the SIM with Aadhaar to make it easy for the mobile phone subscribers.
Starting December 1, this linking can be done online on telecom service provider's website and also using telco's voice-based IVR helpline. These two ways of verifying SIM to Aadhaar have got the approval of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
In a ruling in February this year, the Supreme Court had said that all mobile phones in the country must be linked to Aadhaar by February 2018. All SIM cards that are not linked by this date will face deactivation.
