Swapping Connections With Imported CDMA Handsets

[krispuniq 3]

Hello Friends

My mom needs a new mobile now, which has good battery back up and works with CDMA network.

I have two phones in my household:

1. Samsung Fascinate with extended battery, already activated with reliance & in sparing use right now.

2. HTC hero activated with reliance and in use for my wife.

I want to choose one of the handsets mentioned above, deactivate the current number on those and activate my mom's reliance number so that she can start using the phone.

My Fascinate is also registered with reliance but doesnt have EVDO yet. what is the process to get the number swap done ? I have an OMH handset at home to use for the number swap or change process.

Another idea is to activate the fascinate with my wife's number and pass on the Hero to my mom for rough use. This will involve too many swaps i believe but i guess even this is possible. Can you plz suggest me what to do and how to do the number change process ?

u can try HCC thats the easiest way but u need luck for that

second way is u can go to ww and ask for mdn retain.. but your old handset will be blocked and u have to get it released from backend to get another no. transfered in it...

tell me if u need hcc i hv one lying with me...

1- take 2 OMH cards

2- transfer no in these

3- release RSN (MEID) of imported sets

4- retain respective numbers after release in imported sets

5- Contact your seller for HDR details for EVDO

- good luck

I can buy 2 OMH cards from webworld for 100bucks probably. But how to transfer number into these? Again HCC ? coz if i ask the WW to do MDN retain, the issue will be to release the MEID of the imported handsets, which will be listed as lost/stolen when the WW does MDN retain.

3- release RSN (MEID) of imported sets

Any idea how long this can take and what is the process for releasing ?

4- retain respective numbers after release in imported sets

5- Contact your seller for HDR details for EVDO

I have bought the handsets directly from US and got them registered through a member here, who doesn't care to respond now ! That is the biggest issue for me. I can bugg a few other good and experienced sellers here, but cant do that always

ANy other suggestions ?

As far as I can understand your requirement;

For transferring the number from Fascinate to Hero and Hero to Fascinate

You will require:

3 HCC cards (Rs. 25 Each)

1 Blank RUIM Card (Rs. 25 Each)

Procedure:

Step1: Using HCC transfer number from Fsacinate to RUIM

Step2: Using HCC transfer number from Hero to fascinate

Step3: Using HCC transfer number from RUIM to Hero

If you use HCC card you don't have to release the RSN.

I think you are right. If we use HCC, then we dont have to release RSN. But getting a proper valid HCC is a difficult thing these days. HCC is rare to find and even if found, it hardly works often resulting in wasted attempts. Do u have any reliable source for HCC ?
