Hey guys, wanted to share a crazy situation I got into recently and how it got resolved, just in case any of you ever find yourself in the same soup.

So, I ordered a new phone on Flipkart via exchange. Before handing over my old phone, I formatted it, but stupidly managed to wipe my eSIM profile as well.

When I went to the Jio store to get a duplicate SIM, they told me they couldn’t issue it because my Aadhaar biometrics were locked. To unlock my biometrics, I visited an Akshaya centre where they said I needed an OTP.…which was being sent to my phone number... which was on the wiped SIM.

Boom. Absolute deadlock. No SIM -> No OTP -> No Biometric Unlock -> No duplicate SIM.

The folks at the Akshaya centre didn’t even know what exactly to do couldn't help me out. So, I decided to visit the Aadhaar Seva Kendra at Kacheripady (Ernakulam).

I reached there around 9:15 AM. Their office opening time was 9:30 AM, but the office was already open, super clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

The staff there guided me with the whole process very professionally and updated my Aadhaar-linked mobile number to my dad's phone number instead.

Upon submitting my request, they said it would take a maximum of 3 days to update the number but it hardly took just 10 minutes!

Within an hour, the number was updated, my dad received the OTP, we bypassed the deadlock, and I successfully unlocked my biometrics permanently. Right after that, I walked into a Jio store and got my duplicate SIM without a hitch.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Cheers!

Hello community,

Does anyone know where the Flipkart Warehouse is for the Malaparamba area? I would like to go collect my order as it's getting delayed. The item has already reached my nearest hub but I need to know the correct hub location.

Thanks.

Edit: The location is Ekart Logistics, Muriyanal, Kunnamangalam

Hello ya'all.

My iPhone 17 is about to arrive in a couple of days. I've been a lifelong Android user and this will be my first iPhone.

Could someone please suggest the best accessories for keeping my device in its best condition, please:

1. Case (I wanted to go with the Daily Objects stack case but I heard it's bad)

2. Charge adapter (Should I get the official Apple adapter)

3. Should I get the cable from Apple?

4. Screen protector (I want a privacy screen protector)

Thanks in advance!
