• The Maximum charge of transfer is RS. 19 and it is to be paid to new operator.
• When you are switching from one operator to another, the process generally takes 2 hours so your cell phone will be dead for 2 hours and the process takes place between 10 PM to 5 AM.
• If you switch to another operator then you can switch to next operator after 90 days.
• You need to clear all your dues for your bills from old operator if you want to switch to new one.

 How to change the telecom operator via MNP services:

• You need to send SMS to 1900, PORT < Your Mobile Number >
• You will get an SMS with unique porting code. You need to provide this number to the new operator with a specific time because the code has a expiry time.
• The new operator will check out with existing operator and if existing operator gives you the permission then the process of switching will start.
• Now new operator will claim the number and you can enjoy using the new service provider.
• The process seems to be simple but then also its better that you must get all the reviews about new telecom operator before switching otherwise you again need to wait for 90 days to switch the operator next time.
