Pretty helpful 🙂 but I would like to have a small feature being added to the ecosystem of services provided! Like I have a keypad phone also and the sim cannot be taken out as it is a Jio Phone. If you could add a one time password authenticated system to check the details of that handset on my smartphone then it would be like an icing on the cake. It's definitely working great now and all the features already available are splendid! But just a small suggestion from my side 😁
