Ported my bhabi's RCDMA to RGSM.
Reasons for Porting - Only for handset purpose. My brother gifted her new handset and want o port out.
Grievances with existing Service provider - Handset nothing else.
Benefits that I see of the new service provider - Better handset. I don;t think there is any other benefit.
Porting Experience - (mention time taken to port from first sms etc.) - Given port out request through SMS on Friday, 5th October at about 11AM. I got the confirmation message that it has been delivered but not the port out request number. Called up CC and was promptly given the number. She asked me the reason and I told I want to migrate to GSM for better handset nothing else. I got port out request no at evening 5PM.
Sent my peon to WW. WW guy gave him a form and asked to get address proof and photo. Filled up the form and sent again at about 2PM. Got a call stating that since the number is registered at office address, I should also provide address proof of the office otherwise application may get rejected and number will be blocked. The WW guy was kind enough to inform that I can provide landline bill or any document in name of co and there will not be any verification. He asked me mail the bill and my peon can wait till I mail it. After mailing, I called up my peon and he confirmed with the WW guy about he receipt of the land line bill in mail. He handed over the new GSM SIM to my peon and informed that it may take max. 7 to 8 days to start. till then my CDMA will be working.
I got SMS on Saturday, 6th, stating that I should start my GSM phone between 8PM to midnight. I restarted it several times during that period, but there was no luck. However on 7th October, at about 10AM, restarted GSM and it was working.
Any other important comment- I found WW guy to helping and never got agitated. In fact he explained everything to my peon and again to me over the phone. He was willing to help in every possible way,
