Prepaid Postpaid Number Portability Procedure in India. Mobile number portability is a facility that enables a user to change user’s network provider without having to change user’s mobile number. In India, Mobile number portability started from 20-01-2011. In India, Number portability is only allowed in the circle only (Within a State) that means it is not allowed nation-wide. However, one can port ones number form GSM to CDMA and vice-versa and between pre-paid & post-paid options but that too within the circle only.

Prepaid Postpaid Number Portability Procedure in India
The master database for Mobile number portability in India is managed by third party firms like Syniverse for Zone-1 and Telcordia for Zone -2. There is one restriction for Mobile number portability that you cannot switch to another network operator until you have completed a 90 days period with your current network operator.
If you are irritated from Service provider automated call, then do follow the steps described in DND – Stop Ads SMS Call Post.
Steps to be implemented to port your number:
Step 1: Firstly, Write a message stating PORT <Space> < Mobile Number> and then send it to 1900. After doing that you will receive an 8-digit alpha-numeric Unique Porting Code (UPC) from 1901. This Unique porting Code is valid for 15 days.
Step 2: After receiving the UPC, just go to the office of the network operator that you want to switch to. Fill a form and give them 19 Rs. And Unique Porting Code. And also furnish your personal details like Identity proof, Address Proof and Passport size photographs.
Step 3: The Network Operator will hand over you an empty SIM, after the document submission and payment. And then within one day you will receive a message to confirm porting.
Step 4: Once you confirm the porting, then within next 7 days changes will be done.
Step 5: Finally, you will get a SMS from your operator with porting time and date.
Step 6: Now insert the new SIM into your phone and you are done with the procedure.

Opted for Portability Service…
Let us see what happens..
Yes,Now I will port my number easily…
Its has been almost a week that I’ve contact the customer care services and tells them about the problem of my mobile no. That it has been bar since 20th/ May/ 2015. But till this very particular moment they haven’t do nothing yet.
I have converted my no from CDMA to GSM as handsets are not available now and almost more than a week my Nos. are still switched off and your people in Chd and Mandi do not attend our ph calls.
We think that we shall go in court.
Really it is very irresposible of your people working at Mandi (HP) and Chd. Mr. Santosh . They should not be in the company as if you cannot provide the service or listen to the customers or take their calls.
A serious action should be taken about this.
I would rather suggest every1 to leave reliance.

Sir, I am using my Docomo sim for the past 6-7 months. I first opted for the postpaid scheme for three months and then shifted it to prepaid. But after one month from the inception of my prepaid scheme, DOCOMO disconnected the line due to some verification error. I have again submitted the documents but they forced me to take prepaid as according to them a disconnected line cannot be connected to prepaid scheme. 2-3 days back the line got connected as postpaid. Since I am fed up with this operator, I want to port it to Bsnl right now. Is it possible? Please reply soon.
