Tap to copy 📋
Before you dial: The code costs Rs. 2–5 (deducted from your balance). Minimum balance required: Rs. 2. If your balance is below Rs. 2, recharge first — then save. The code does NOT work at Rs. 0 balance.
Verify the code before dialing: Jazz updates USSD codes periodically. Open the MyJazz app or visit jazz.com.pk to confirm *101*2# is still current if you have not used this code in the past 3 months.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Jazz Balance Save Code
Check your current Jazz balance
Dial *111#. Confirm you have at least Rs. 2–5 available. The balance save code charges a service fee — if your balance is below this minimum, the code will fail silently on some handsets.
Check your balance expiry date
Dial *111*2# to see the exact date your Jazz balance expires. Use the save code before this date — activating it after the balance has already expired does not recover the lost credit.
Dial the balance save code
Dial *101*2# exactly as written. Press the green call button. Do not add spaces, dashes, or additional characters. An on-screen flash message confirms initiation.
Wait for the confirmation SMS
Jazz sends a text message within 60 seconds confirming that your balance has been saved for an additional 30 days. The SMS includes the new expiry date. Screenshot it for reference.
What the Jazz Balance Save Code Does (and What It Does Not Do)
✅ What it DOES:
Extends the validity of your existing PKR credit balance by approximately 30 days from the date you activate it. The credit amount does not change — only the expiry date extends.
❌ What it does NOT do:
It does not prevent SIM deactivation. PTA’s 90-day inactivity rule operates independently. A SIM with no outgoing activity (no calls, SMS, or data) for 90 days is deactivated by PTA regardless of balance save code use.
The distinction that matters: Jazz balance expiry (credit expiry) and PTA SIM deactivation (account block) are two separate systems. The balance save code solves the first problem only. To prevent SIM deactivation, make at least one outgoing call or send one SMS within every 90-day window.
Jazz Balance Expiry Policy — When Does Balance Expire?
Jazz prepaid balance validity depends on the recharge denomination:
| Recharge Amount (PKR) | Balance Validity Period |
|---|---|
| Rs. 1 – Rs. 99 | 2 days |
| Rs. 100 – Rs. 299 | 15 days |
| Rs. 300 – Rs. 499 | 30 days |
| Rs. 500 – Rs. 999 | 60 days |
| Rs. 1,000+ | 90 days |
Note: These are approximate ranges based on Jazz’s published tariff guide. Exact validity may vary by recharge method (retailer vs online vs app). Verify via *111*2# after each recharge.
Balance Save Code Not Working — Common Fixes
Balance below minimum
The most common reason. Recharge at least Rs. 10 before trying the code again. Even Rs. 5 may be insufficient if the service fee is Rs. 5 flat.
Balance already expired
The save code only works before expiry. If balance has already expired, it cannot be recovered via USSD. Contact Jazz helpline (111) — they can sometimes restore recently expired balance within 48 hours as a one-time gesture.
Code used too recently
Jazz limits balance save activations to once per 30 days. If you activated it recently, wait until the 30-day window passes before trying again.
Code changed by Jazz
Verify the current code via the MyJazz app under Account › Balance. Jazz updates USSD codes without announcement. The app always shows current, verified codes.
Alternative: Activate a Jazz Monthly Package
The most reliable way to keep Jazz balance from expiring is to activate a Jazz monthly package. Package activation resets your SIM activity date, extends effective SIM validity, and typically costs the same or less per day than letting balance sit idle. A Rs. 120 monthly package for 30 days costs Rs. 4/day — often worth it versus losing unused balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Jazz balance save code?
The Jazz balance save code is a USSD string that prepaid Jazz SIM holders dial to prevent their unused account credit from expiring at the end of the balance validity period. Dialing the code extends the protection window on the existing balance.
What is the exact Jazz balance save code?
The current Jazz balance save code is *101*2# (verify against jazz.com.pk or the MyJazz app at time of use — Jazz periodically updates USSD codes). Dial it exactly as written and press the call button.
Does the Jazz balance save code cost anything?
Yes. Jazz deducts a small service fee (typically Rs. 2–5, depending on the package active at the time) when the balance save code is activated. Users with less than Rs. 2 balance cannot use the code and must recharge first.
How long does the Jazz balance save code protection last?
Activating the balance save code typically extends balance protection by 30 days from the date of activation. After 30 days, the balance may expire again if not used or the code is not re-activated.
Does the balance save code also save my Jazz SIM from deactivation?
No. The balance save code protects monetary credit (PKR balance) only. SIM deactivation by PTA is governed separately by a 90-day inactivity rule — no outgoing activity for 90 consecutive days results in SIM block, regardless of whether balance was saved.
What is the minimum balance required to use the Jazz balance save code?
Jazz requires a minimum balance of approximately Rs. 2–5 to activate the balance save code. Users at Rs. 0 balance must recharge first, then activate the code.
How many times can I use the Jazz balance save code?
Jazz limits balance save code activations per billing cycle. Typically, the code can be used once every 30 days. A second activation attempt before this window expires returns an error.
Does the balance save code work without mobile data?
Yes. USSD codes execute over the GSM voice channel, not the internet. The Jazz balance save code works even when mobile data is off, on zero-MB packages, or in areas with data congestion.
