I had ported my Vodafone number in last week of 2011, and followed all the procedures to get the BSNL service. After 8/10 days of porting, I got a call from BSNL for address verification and told that I ll get the BSNL service within 3 more days. But already 25 days gone after porting. Still I am unable to get the BSNL service. But vodafone SIM is still working. Now I am unable to understand, who is responsible for it; vodafone or BSNL. Can anybody help me to short out this problem???
Hello Ramesh,
Mobile Number Porting is a shake hand procedure, means both operators are responsible. We have Donor operator and new operator in this process.
In your case, Vodafone is donor and he has to release the number from his server to BSNL server. Vodafone will only do this when below parametres are met :-
1) You should be at-least 90 days old customer with donor
2) You have paid last month bill (if postpaid)
3) You have paid unbilled amount to the date (if postpaid), advised to pay some 10-15Rs extra
4) You have not got any free gits or free talk-time or bill adjustments from donor in past 90 days
5) Your mobile number is not a fancy number and you have got it free
6) And many more… (depends on operator)
If donor is satisfied with above all parameters, he will release the number and BSNL has to activate it.
BSNL has nothing to do here, except get the mobile number from Donor operator and activate it on BSNL network.
Below are the below concerns for BSNL to accept your porting request when :-
1) The details you have given should not mismatched while verification
2) If postpaid, you must live with family or else make some security deposit
3) Owner of the Vodafone mobile number and Applicant in BSNL application should be same (even if its your father’s, not accepted)
Now with above details, analyze your situation and talk to both operators customer care, sure they will help you.

This is known problem with BSNL and some other mobile operators too & they must be trying to fix this.
