mobile number portability process{fully explained}

1.

To begin with, you need to

generate UPC (Unique Porting

Code) by sending SMS to 1900.

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.

• SMS to be sent : PORT to 1900.

Operator SMS charges will be

applicable.

• Eg. SMS PORT 98XXXXXXXX to

1900

2.

After sending SMS to 1900, 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.

Visit your nearest outlet (which operator wants you to port)

showroom

4.

Fill Mobile Number Porting

(MNP) form providing details like

• 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.
