    • Hello Anil Verma,

      Although MNP seems a simple process, it involves lot of complications and again different from every mobile operator. Check these below:-

      Have you submitted all the required documents to Idea cellular? Have you got the new SIM card from Idea cellular?
      If you are a postpaid customer, do you have any pending bills needs to pay to Aircel or even un-billed amount?
      Still not found a solution, talk to that Idea cellular officer / executive to get the status of your MNP or call their customer care.

    • Hello Anand Singh,

      This is for your information.
      To port any mobile number, the donor operator (in your case, Airtel) has to release the mobile number so that the new mobile operator (in your case, Idea) will activate their services with old mobile number. You will have to be a customer with Donor for more than 90 days for them to release the mobile number.
      So, check with Airtel, whether you have any pending bills (even un-billed)? Do you got your fancy mobile number for free (if any)? ask them whether they received any porting request?

      Let us know, if the above has not helped you.
