Honest 836 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 ^^^ @biswajit My dear friend, you just have to use a HCC (Handset Change Card) for retaining your current number. By using HCC your current number will be transferred to a new handset of your choice. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rishabhvig 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 buy the handset change card. follow the instructions given below From your old handset, dial *229, followed by the PIN number written in the scratch panel. Next, from your new handset, dial *228. Follow the voice instructions and key in the same PIN number to activate the new handset. Your old handset is now de-activated. However, this step must be done within 24 hours of dialing *229 from your old handset, otherwise the validity of the card will expire. Please switch off and switch on your new handset after 15 minutes, and your new Reliance phone is ready to use. You will receive a confirmatory SMS that your new phone has been activated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The non-SIM handset in question was actually bought from Reliance itself and I was using it before purchasing the SIM based one. Can I just follow the standard procedure for HCC or is there any need for Reliance people or going to web world to detach the number from the SIM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
