198 is confirmed as complaint number. No source shows the dialling hack improves or creates network access.
Why we say that›
No proof exists that dialling Jio's 198 number hacks poor network in tourist spots.
The complaint number is correct. The claimed background trick has zero supporting evidence and cannot create coverage where none exists.
Dialling 198 lets Jio users get internet in crowded tourist places with poor network by leaving the call running in background.

How the reel gets there
The reel says: “एक hack है, अगर आप ऐसी कोई place पे आते हो जहा network अच्छे से नहीं आता है and tourist place है, बहुत ज़्यादा लोग हैं. Jio का network है, तो आपको 198 dial करना है. Complain number है, वो dial करके छोड़ दे देगा background में और फिर आपका जो भी काम है internet का वो कर लीजिए, हो जाएगा.”
The record shows: 198 is listed only as the Jio customer-care complaint helpline number (from a Jio number).
