Mobile Number Portability

What is this Mobile Number Portability?

Recently there is lot of buzz about this Mobile Number Portability so I intend to write something I know about this now.So,Mobile Number Portability is nothing but a service which is provided to a mobile phone subscriber to choose a service provider of his choice without changing the mobile number.So,if you are the one who is not any more interested in your network services or who have some other reasons to change your network,Mobile Number Portability is for you.
                                              
                                                


This feature can be used by both Pre-Paid and Post-Paid subscribers with the extra option of change in technology like GSM/CDMA.

How can I maintain the same number even though I change my service provider?

In this MNP, the calls or messages are just routed from one subscriber to another i.e ; If you change your Service Provider SP1 then all your calls or messages coming to your number will be forworded to the S1 by your previous Service Provider SP2.


You cannot change your SP too frequently,a gap of atleast 3 months must be maintained.To change your Service Provider you will be charged with only 19 Rs.

How to change my Serviceprovider? 

  1. Send an SMS (text message) with the word "PORT" to the phone number "1900". 
  2. You will immediately receive your own UPC (Unique Porting Code).This is a eight-digit code with an expiry date.
  3. Consult your nearest service operator office and after all the proceedings like filling up the form with your UPC and  paying the money you can collect your new SIM card.
  4. According to what I came to know your request will take upto 4-5 hours of time and after that you can enjoy your new subsriber service.It must take no longer than 7 days to complete the request according to some sources!!
Sounds interesting right!!I am on my way to change my MSP so what about you?
