While NUUP is theoretically supposed to work on all USSD supporting carriers in India (all the provider apart from Jio), the service is not very well maintained and keeps going down, or, in some cases, doesn't work at all. Specifically, it has never been observed to work with BSNL, is often down with Airtel, and works reasonably well with Vi but with a bug preventing one from entering new UPI IDs (so one has to always pay using a phone number)
