Easiest way to port your mobile number from AIRTEL


Porting out mobile number from AIRTEL is not easy as we think because in AIRTEL prepaid segment none of the mobile number is in the users name it is in the name of fake proofs generated by the prepaid distributors . And you can't change your proof in the prepaid segment of AIRTEL because India's leading MNC mobile network company AIRTEL don't have the provision to update the proof for a prepaid customer ( This is one of the cunning way to retain the customers from porting out ).

Remedy for switching out from AIRTEL to other network is
  • First switch off your AIRTEL number for one day.
  • Next day run to a AIRTEL customer care centre and report that you have lost your mobile along with the SIM card.
  • Take relevant proofs for getting a duplicate SIM.
  • Request a new SIM with the same number.
  • Get ready few questions are asked by the AIRTEL customer care to prove the lost SIM is yours such as your frequently dialled numbers,your last recharge value etc.
  • They charge you Rs 100 for replacing a new SIM card
  • Very important don't forget to get the receipt for the money you pay them.
  • Now a new prepaid SIM is issued and the proof for the number is in your name.
  • After few days you can give a porting request.
  • Even then your number doesn't get ported you have got the receipt in your hand now which proves that you have replaced a lost SIM now you can take a legal action if needed.
