A significant number of people today rely on mobile networks for work or leisure as well as connecting with their friends and family. Thus, quality network coverage is of utmost importance along with prompt service as well as affordable plans. These are a few key factors for users to switch from one network provider to another. Mobile number portability (MNP) is a facility that enables subscribers to switch to a different telecom operator without changing their existing number. The MNP process usually involves a few steps, starting with port request. Once MNP is requested it takes a few days for porting to complete. Read on to understand how MNP works and know MNP status checking process.

MNP Process Step by Step:

The MNP process can become extensive and time taking. But with Vi the whole porting process becomes seamless. A digital representative will take care of your document verification and SIM activation process.

• Visit the MNP online page and enter your basic details like pin code and number you wish to port
• Enter your address and select a plan that suits all your requirements
• Make payment and place an order, a new SIM card will be delivered free of charge
• To confirm the port-in request, generate a Unique Porting Code (UPC) by sending an SMS, PORT <10 digit mobile number to port> to 1900.
• At the time of SIM delivery, share UPC with the representative

How can I check Porting/MNP status?

When you request for a sim port process (MNP), you will receive alerts about your porting status through SMS at every stage of porting. The MNP status check can also be done via the MNP service providers of your zone.
