Hi friends,
Today I am gonna share some facts about MNP (Mobile Number Portability). It has been quite a long time since MNP has been available in India though it is not available at some places. Hearing about its features many people would like to use it since it is perfect to get rid of your regular operator. Here are a few steps with which you can easily avail MNP. Though these steps are common and easy to follow still I am giving a detailed outline about it .
1.Firstly, you have to get your UPC (Unique Porting Code). For your UPC send the following SMS to 1900.
• SMS to be sent : PORT (space) your number to 1900. [charges apply.]
• Eg. SMS PORT 98XXXXXXXX to 1900.
• SMS to be sent : PORT (space) your number to 1900. [charges apply.]
• Eg. SMS PORT 98XXXXXXXX to 1900.
N.B.: UPC is an alphanumeric code allocated, upon request, by a mobile operator to its subscriber for the purpose of facilitation of porting of his/her mobile number to another operator.
2. Then, you will receive UPC (Unique Porting Code) as a SMS from 1901 giving 8 digit alpha-numeric Unique Porting Code (UPC) and UPC expiry date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
3. Now go to your nearest outlet (which operator wants you to port) showroom
4. Fill Mobile Number Porting (MNP) form provided by them. It would ask for details like
• Current Mobile Number
• Current Operator name
• UPC code
• Current Mobile Number
• Current Operator name
• UPC code
5. Submit Address & Id proof documents, self-attested photo and last bill copy of postpaid connection (if applicable) along- with filled MNP form and Customer Agreement Form.
6. Buy the MNP SIM card from outlet / showroom. SIM charges, talktime value and porting charge are non- refundable in the event of cancellation / rejection of port-in request.
7. Your new operator will send an SMS on your old/existing operator ’s SIM (existing connection) intimating about the porting date and time, i.e. the date and approximate time till when you can continue to use your existing operator ’s SIM card.
8. There will be a 2-hour ‘no service period’ which will begin after the porting time as given above.The ‘ no service period’ will be between 12 midnight to 5 am during which your mobile service will not be active on any SIM

All efforts will be made to ensure that this ‘no service period’ causes minimum inconvenience to you.
9. After the ‘no service period’, you can replace your existing operator ’s SIM card with the new airtel SIM card in your handset. Call Toll Free Number 1800 103 1111 . Once your SIM card is activated you would be ready to enjoy high-quality network, innovative value added services and best-in class customer service using your existing mobile number.
