Honest 836 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 ^^^ @Akshat My dear friend, if anyone get his / her very desired mobile number then their is no issue of whichever the operator is. The main thing is that now a days subscribers want their own desired numbers. If I get my desired number with any operator, I could think to shift. And BSNL is not that bad my dear friend. Regards.
