@Nath Why not use the ICICI or other bank's mobile recharge facility online or at ATM???

It is always better to recharge from the operator's website unless other sites are offering you extra talktime or other freebies

Though this is not the thread where I should post it, but today I will break rule and make double post - one here and one in off topic discussion thread. Please watch this clip, very motivating and encouraging. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=BfL2U0BJ48g&vq=medium#t=81

I have PORTED my existing Tata Indicom Prepaid number 92879xxxxx to Airtel Prepaid in the Kerala Circle. Reasons for Porting - TI's network coverage and reception is deteriorating / dismal in the places I frequent outside city limits. 4 years back, for someone looking for High Speed data access on phone CDMA was indispensable. It was a privilege exclusive for us CDMA customers in the form of EVDO but now with the advent of HSPA we are no longer obligated to stick with them. How much ever we laud CDMA here, it remains true that we are a neglected lot. Sure, the technology is great but the implementation in India is deplorable. And the situation is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. Most of my friends / relatives are on Airtel, Idea or Vodafone so I never had much use for the famed unlimited on-net plans. Benefits that I see of the new service provider - Hassle free user experience even if that means I will have to shell out more Rs. Airtel provides 3G services in Kerala through roaming agreement with Idea. Porting Experience - Generated UPC on 7th March 2012 (Wednesday) Visited Airtel Relationship Center on 8th and filled up the requisite forms. On the same day, received a SMS from +1909 that my request for porting have been received and it is under process. On 12th (Monday) received a SMS stating that the donor operator have validated my application and that my number will be ported out by midnight 00.18.00. The number was inaccessible till 5 AM. After 5 AM the number got converted to Airtel. Calls, SMS, data are working flawlessly since. 3G services activated by 10 AM. The tech support guy who contacted me went out of his way to help configure the settings and Airtel followed up to ensure that everything is working smooth. Was able to access My Airtel page, recharge through paytm also successful Now the only association I am having with Tata Indicom is a postpaid connection I'm using with official BB9650 which I just can't ditch
