I own Airtel which I have applied for porting to Reliance GSM.
I sms'd on 22nd Jan gor UPC immediately, so far so, good, Then applied with Reliance gsm in mumbai, on 23rd Jan Sunday, was given the SIM, Today on 11th of Feb, I am still with Airtel.
Now believe me, I didnt receive any call from Airtel to stay back, no sms from Airtel or reliance about any progress on porting. My UPC expired on 6th FEB, I am still waiting, as advised by rcom guys, as they say my application is under process.
Sent email to both customer care, one says its being processed, and other says My number has been retained as per my request.
Which means that Airtel is foul playing me about the retention story, whereas I have made no such request nor have I called customer care for the same and neither have receieved any such retention call from Airtel, Rcom GSM ppl are asking me to stay put and do nothing .
I also visited a gallery of reliance yesterday, where I saw a customer care guy told me the whole process is in doldrums, and all their application are showing in process.
Loos like someone does not reliance to get any customers.
