Mobile Number Portability now just an SMS away

Mobile Number Portability will be a reality from 20th January 2011, as Government has at last announced the launch of this facility for the entire India from this date.The procedure for switching over from one mobile network to another mobile network is as follows

• Post-paid subscribers, before making the porting request, have to make sure that their last bill has been paid failing which the request for change to new service provider shall be reject.

• In the case of pre-paid subscriber, any balance amount left will not be carried forward when the number is transferred to the new service provider.

• Once a subscriber ports his number to the new operator, then, he will have to wait for at least 90 days before he can change his operator again.
