There are different thought of schools that tells different things about what government should do and what it shouldn't. Many persons say that governments should do nothing. Everything should be done by private players. So, almost everything was privatized to gain 'quality service'. Good private schools charge lakhs of rupees per child. A private hospital charged Rs. 16 lakh to cure dengue. It is happening everywhere. Someone said that policing should be privatized. Local gundas can be given contract to maintain law and order in their respective areas. Another person suggested that we have so many private armies like Karni Sena, Shivasena and hundreds like these so they can protect our country if given responsibility. Well, there is no limit of it. Someday someone can say that when everything is being managed by these private rajas-maharajas, why do we need a public government? It should also be privatized . Or Associate Chamber of Commerce can make better rules than parliament. In a country like India, where not everyone is capable of paying Rs. 16 lakh for medical bills of private hospitals, governments has its responsibilities. Post, telecom and transport are also listed in the responsibilities of central government. There is co-existence of public sector and private sector to form a mixed economy. We have some maha ratna companies in public sector that are doing well.

If they want it free of cost, I don't see anything wrong with it. Spectrum is not something that is manufactured in some factory. Neither it is excavated out of the earth. It is natural wave available like air. Why should government sell it @ 11,485 cr per Mhz? Even if they justify that they must sell air, a government's own company bound for rendering essential services can ask for resources and capital from its owner. If government thinks that essential services like railways, post, telecom etc are baniyagiri and not their responsibility, they should shut down these 'shops'. There are enough baniyas in the market. Using other bands for 4G and 5G services, however, is possible provided those spectrum are 'liberalized'. Again it's only government that can liberalize the spectrum.

Oh, yes. But they are not going for any memorial service. This task is left for us, which we are doing here.

That happens in case full and final bill is not paid. Whenever you close a postpaid account, you must inform them in writing and keep a receiving of it. You should also ask for a no dues slip after paying final bill.

BSNL has additional responsibilities too. Government is not supposed to making money by doing profitable business. They must render services wherever private players not interested such as villages and mountains. And also to them who cannot afford premium services. But these days BSNL and Railways and other such organizations are asked to do profitable business and make money for the government. Well, BSNL is not given spectrum for free but they have to pay the money equals to the highest bid price.

... or he may be preparing for electric funeral of rcom..

Yes, even I was so happy with its 'one India' nature. I worked excellent in Benares as well as in Delhi. I went to Hyderabad and everywhere it worked so fine. It changed its body only. Its new incarnation is Rjio.

There are reports about BSNL's new FRC of Rs. 7 on news and telecom websites. But nothing can be found about this offer on their official website or recharge portals. Is it true or rumoured?

Yes, headed by SBI Capital.

Eh! It is so pitiful! My first number! A decade long memories! I wanted to keep this number 'coz my ex sometimes calls me on it. So I ported out.

But their LTE network should be on.

It was 2500 Mhz which was useless for them. They want 700 Mhz or nearby.

Government should have 'nationalized' this inactive company on 19 November - Indira Gandhi's birthday. as BSNL keeps asking for 4G spectrum.

LOL!. Yeah. Their 'lifetime' validity would end in 2022. Try in 4G phone in 4G sim socket.

They had said that this would happen on December 1. But it happened on November 21. What's going on? I have applied for port out but 2 days are left.

Reliance numbers stop working suddenly . Aircel network not accessible.

So it is something like "ghar ka number ghar mei".. It is interesting to see that Rjio sarted getting 93 series right since 17-05-2017. Something went on behind the curtain.

Yes. See, to get 10 crore customers, he gave away free calls/data worth several thousand. If he'd offer any lyf handset for rcom migrants, he could have added 11 crore more users in record time.

But Rcom bought MTS meanwhile and almost bought Aircel. They haven't transferred any spectrum so far but they are sharing it with Rjio (because Rcom has 850 Mhz in all circles and Rjio hasn't). Moreover, rcom's asset is now being managed by SBI capital. Therefore they cannot hide anything now. They are turning this company from B2C to B2B. More details are here: http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/about-us/investor-relations/pdf/RCOM-Press-Release-Q2-FY18.pdf This shi*t is happening not because of lack of money but lack of interest, lack of attention and mismanagement.

Yeah. this is it. @nitink should also do the same.

That's right.

I missed that yours is a postpaid number. Your porting requested could be rejected if any amount is unpaid. You should find out nearest rcom office, pay the final bill and take a no-dues slip form them. Then start porting procedure again.

No one is getting sms before successful porting.

If it is confirmed that your verification was successful then do not worry about paper docs. It is all done. Their warehouses are centrally located circle-wise where they won't be able to find out any paper easily. Instead, they ask for a fresh copy of the doc if required.

Did they ask for it? They were supposed to do it with POS and e-KYC. Generally, all the papers are sent to warehouse after data entry. So, any misuse is not likely.
