dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) With MNP finally being introduced tonight, I am starting this topic for the benefit of everyone on the forum, to get back feedbacks from people who have "already ported". You can post your feedbacks in this format (add some more if you like, but this should be bare minimum) - ---------------------------------- I have PORTED my existing (name of service provider) (GSM/CDMA) number XX123456XX to (name of new service provider) (GSM/CDMA) (e.g. I have PORTED my existing Reliance CDMA number 93584XXXXX to Idea GSM) Reasons for Porting - Grievances with existing Service provider - Benefits that I see of the new service provider - Porting Experience - (mention time taken to port from first sms etc.) Any other important comment - ------------------------------- Kindly participate en-mass and spread the joy of the wonderful new world of MNP.... EDIT- A sincere request - On the basis of feedback received from other senior members, I would request all to be as brief as possible and avoid posting unnecessary stuff and dont make this topic loose its prime motto..... Thanks all for your co-operation and understanding... Edited January 19, 2011 by dkaile 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kesav 127 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) My dear friend, you're really taken for a ride. If your porting process is greater than 7 days it's just illegal and the operator needs to be punished. Prepaid takes less time and postpaid takes more time is totally unacceptable. It clearly shows that the operator is purposefully delaying the post-paid port out. He has security deposit against which he can claim your incremental(after your last month's bill payment) usage? What else is the difference? Please highlight such issues to TRAI/DoT/Telecom Minister. It'll take not more than 5-10 minutes of your time. Let us be very patient till the prescribed time(7 days from port-in request at recipient operator) but equally impatient immediately after that. Don't subscribe yourself to our national attitude of "It'll happen when it has to happen..........I'll keep waiting & reminding him with soft words........" It's time for TRAI to make an amendment which penalize the operator of Rs. 50 per day delay and such amount to be credited into subscriber's recipient operator's account. This will act as a incentive for subscriber to be vigilant and which in turn bring order into the MNP system. Edited January 28, 2011 by kesav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
