Another reason is that these days the customers are looking for VAS [Value Added Services] like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/bsnl-caller-tunes\/\">Caller Tunes<\/a>, Dialer Tuner, Games, SMS etc which is not the main interest of BSNL. Along with this the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/11-digit-mobile-phone-numbers\/\">11 Digit Mobile Numbers<\/a> would also be implemented because of the increasing count of mobile phone owners and limited numbers to be offered.<\/p>\n<p>While the implementation of this service would not take more than 2 hours, where in your service provider would be changed and following this the new operator would within 5 days send you a written request for verification according the guidelines. After this the documents are sent to the old operator for confirmation and seeking clearance after which the whole trasaction is completed.<\/p>\n<p>There are chances that atleast 5% of the total subscribers would jump to the new networks like Docomo, Vodafone which have better offers, prices and packages for the customers when compared to the oldest companies. Do you plan to change your service provider? If yes whats your current one which one would you opt for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are not happy with your current Mobile Phone operator because of Billing Issues, Signal Problems, Call Drops or any other issues you don&#8217;t have to worry now because the TRAI [Telecom Regulatory Authority of India] has now offered a new scheme under which you can switch your operator at a cost of just [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[725],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7436","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corporate-talk","8":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Mobile-Number-Portability-150x150.jpg?fit=150%2C150&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":16617,"url":"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/mobile-number-portability-mnp-work\/","url_meta":{"origin":7436,"position":0},"title":"How does Mobile Number portability (MNP) Work","author":"Neal","date":"November 20, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"After so many delays, it seems that it is now final that Mobile Number Portability which allows you to change operator of your choice without changing your number.
