Mobile Number Portability allows to keep the same mobile number and change the operator.
And finally the dream of “Mobile Number Portability†(MNP) has come true, the move initiated by Department of Telecommunications (DoT) two years ago.

Rules and Regulations regarding Mobile Number Portability:
- Mobile subscribers has to to pay nominal fee (Rs 19/- in Haryana state) to switch between operators.
- Post-paid subscriber has clear all dues before switching.
- Pre-paid subscriber will loose all the remaining balance as it wont be carried forward.
- The process will take maximum seven working days and the subscriber will be allowed to cancel his request to port within 24 hours.
- Mobile service will be off for about 2-3 hrs during switching process.
- Once ported, a subscriber will not be allowed to switch operators before 90 days.
Steps to follow for Mobile Number Portability (MNP):
- Send an SMS to 1900 in following format: PORT 9822XXXXXX
where 9822XXXXXX is your number.
- You will get an SMS reply that contains a unique porting code from current subscriber.
- Put request to new subscriber with this unique code which will remain valid for few days. One has to fill the application and submit all relevant documents again to new subscriber.
Number portability will be available from all the GSM Mobile operators of India which includes Vodafone, Airtel, IDEA, Aircell, Uninor, BSNL, Reliance, Videocon, and so on.

I want to change my iDEA no. into Airtel. So can u tell me the process about this
I lasted & ended up calling Airtel customer care several times since 2 months but every time the executive gives guarantee that the sim will be activated by end of day but still it has not been done. Their knowledge and level of service is pathetic.
I also initiate a conference call with the 2nd level executive in Bangalore Customer care & the Airtel shop (Reach communications), Anna nagar, Chennai executive. Standing for 4 hours has gone waste. At last I went to another Airtel Shop in Purasawakkam, Chennai – submitted the form, all the required documents (proofs) & bought a SIM card. I’m still following up with Airtel team to get it activated. Still no go & no efforts.
The number which I need to port from BSNL to Airtel is 94451 63595
Please help in resolving the issue.

I had sent request from aircell to vodaphone whose services were hired on 11/03/11 on mobile no.9653920290 and vodaphone rejected for mobile no portability saying number is less than 90 days old. Vodaphone services at mall road contacted and they had advised their Head office correct positon and advise to do the needful done but again on 22.11.2011 again rejected with the plea that portability is rejected as number is not 90 days old.
