"Comprehensive Guide for Transferring IDEA Mobile Number in 2022"
Porting Your Idea Mobile Number to Another Network
If you're considering a change and want to take your Idea mobile number with you to a new network, you're in luck! With Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in India, it's possible to switch networks without changing your number. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Generate the Unique Porting Code (UPC):
- Send an SMS to 1900 with the text: .
- You will receive a reply SMS containing the UPC. This code is valid for a limited time (usually a few days).
- Submit the UPC to the new network operator:
- Visit the nearest store or website of your desired new operator.
- Provide your UPC, valid ID proof, and pass the necessary verification (which may include a passport-size photo and address proof depending on operator requirements).
- Get a new SIM card from the new network:
- Once your porting request is accepted, the new operator will provide a new SIM card.
- Activation of the new SIM:
- After successful porting, your old Idea SIM will stop working.
- Insert your new SIM card, and your mobile number will be active on the new network.
- Confirm porting success:
- You can confirm the porting by making a call or sending a message to check the network.
Remember to keep using your existing Idea SIM until the porting is complete. The UPC is essential and must be submitted before its expiry. Porting usually completes within 1-2 days, unless there are verification or address proof issues. Carry necessary documents such as ID proof and a passport photo for offline porting processes.
