Number to Port SIM: Here Is How to Port Your SIM

In today’s fast-paced, digitally driven world, mobile phones play a central role in how we stay connected, entertained, and productive. From keeping in touch with loved ones and streaming the latest shows to managing online payments and handling work calls on the move, seamless connectivity is no longer optional; it’s essential. That’s why a reliable network paired with thoughtfully designed mobile plans offering high-speed data and added benefits like OTT subscriptions, data-saving features, and even fancy mobile numbers is highly valued.

If you’re experiencing network issues or simply want a mobile plan that suits your evolving needs better, switching to Vi is easy with the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) facility. MNP allows you to move to Vi without changing your existing mobile number, ensuring continuity and convenience.

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you port your SIM to Vi online:

• Visit the MNP page on the Vi App or Website
• Select from Postpaid or Prepaid options
• Input your Area Pin Code & Number to port SIM
• Or choose a Vi-exclusive fancy phone number
• Enter your Address for free SIM home delivery
• Select a phone as per your requirements
• Get OTP to complete your order
• Select a convenient slot for SIM delivery

It is crucial to remember the number 1900, as you need to generate a Unique Porting Code (UPC) using that number to port the SIM. Once MNP is requested, generate UPC by sending an SMS "PORT space 10-digit mobile number" to 1900. You will receive the UPC via SMS. Share the valid UPC with our Vi executive at the time of SIM home delivery.

For a smooth porting process, ensure the following criteria are followed.

Criteria for Porting:

1. There should be no outstanding dues with the existing service provider
2. Users should complete a minimum 90-day term with an existing telecom operator before applying for MNP to Vi
3. The mobile number should not be prohibited by any court of law from porting
4. There should be no ongoing requests for a change of ownership of the mobile number

Validity of UPC

The Unique Porting Code (UPC) generated for switching to Vi has a defined validity period. For most Licensed Service Areas (LSAs), the UPC remains valid for four days, excluding the day on which it is generated. However, for Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, and North East LSAs, the UPC is valid for 30 days. To ensure a smooth transition, we recommend completing the porting process within the UPC validity period.

Charges for SIM Porting

Porting your mobile number to Vi is absolutely free of cost. There are no hidden charges involved in switching your existing number to our network.
