Thanks to Mobile Number Portability (MNP), you won’t have to put up with your mobile service provider just to retain your number.

Through MNP, you can easily change your service provider without having to let go of your number. But before initialising this process, note that your existing connection must be active for 90 days and all your bills should be cleared.

Following are the steps which will help you to port your number:

1. First, choose the service provider you wish to port your number to.

2. Send the following text message – PORT followed by your 10-digit mobile number to TRAI’s central number for mobile number portability – 1900.

Example: Send ‘PORT 98xxxxxx98’ to 1900. You’ll receive an SMS back with a port out code which will remain valid for only 15 days.
