rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted May 1, 2011 @rajanmehta Plz help me MNP Regulations does not have a specific clause regarding Premium Numbers. It is covered under this general clause through which a port out request can be rejected by your existing operator, "there are subsisting contractual obligations in respect of which an exit clause has been provided in the subscriber agreement but the subscriber has not complied with such exit clause:" Check your CAF Form/Any other agreement you signed & accepted while taking those premium postpaid numbers. If it prescribes any minimum period like 6-12 months or payment of charges in lieu of minimum period, you need to comply with that otherwise idea can reject the port out request even if 90 days are complete from the date of activation. Though there is a difference of opinion among some that Mobile Numbers are property of Deptt. Of Telecommunications and a Telco cannot charge any premium for a specific number, in REAL LIFE, all operators are charging for the same, even officially and have rejected port out requests of premium number customers who have not stayed for the minimum period prescribed under the agreement with operator.

I mean to say, minimum itne din se pehle na to aap number ko band kara sakte hai aur na hi prepaid, kya aisa koi rule hai? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) TRAI says "there is no justification for rejecting a porting request on the ground that premium number or vanity number has been given to the customer as the numbering resource is allocated free of charge by the Licensor, who is the owner of the numbering resource and, therefore, the service providers are not justified in putting any condition for retaining premium numbers/vanity numbers under the garb of contractual obligation" Hence, TRAI directs service providers 'not to reject a request for porting of a mobile number (a)if outstanding payment due from the subscriber, in the previous paid bill is less than Rs. 10 which the service provider may include in the subsequent bill of the subscriber without any penal charges; and (b)on the ground of subsisting contractual obligation except in the case of,-- the postpaid connection with bundled handset with contractual obligation having exit clause and the subscriber has not compiled with the same; and corporate connection with contractual obligation having exit clause and the subscriber has not compiled with the same ' http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Directives/146/Direction_page.pdf Kudos to TRAI :clap: :clap: Edited May 24, 2011 by kesav 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lostjournal 7 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 I ported my number from Airtel to Uninor - here in Kerala. The porting was smooth. Uninor did not charge any money towards MNP or SIM card. Default tariff is 1/2 paise per second to local calls in Kerala. Biggest plus is 1 paisa per second calls to the US on a nominal recharge or 22/23. Thanks Uninor!

aankush 62 Report post Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Query: Any way to check for a number for which network it is working on, after MNP has been implemented.... Earlier it was easy to tell by the series. This will be useful for on net free calling... On prepaid we can check after a call, if the balance is deducted or not... But on postpaid its difficult to find out... So looking for a way to check a number's network. Edited September 4, 2011 by Honest << Topic Merged >> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After Several mails to rcom Including anil ambani, submitting port out code 4 times and waiting for 2 months my number was finally shifted to aircel. still I dont which fault it was, When I contacted rcom, they told they forwarded the request to MCH, when I contacted aircel they told reliance is not giving clearance. But I would like to suggest you to take aircel postpaid (in case you are going 4 prepaid), because in postpaid Aircel give heavy discount on rental. Just after 2 months of porting, I sent port out msg from aircel too. and now I am getting 50% discount on 499 rental plan. Network is also good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mona 6 Report post Posted November 27, 2011 Whenever I try to send porting request from my Reliance cdma prepaid as well as postpaid I never get the porting code from Reliance. I get the sms delivered successfully message only. what could be the reason? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted November 27, 2011 Because Reliance by default blocks sending of the port code to the customer from the back end like many other operators. You need to lodge a complaint with Customer Care and then within few hours / at the most one day, they will send the port code to you. Port code is already generated at the backend and CC can tell you orally also. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
