@pssastry no CDMA handset will not suit for BSNL it is GSM technology
pssastry February 22, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I want to move to bsnl from RELIANCE POSTPAID with a CDMA HANDSET.
1. If I want to go to BSNL POSTPAID, can I use the same CDMA handset?
2. If I want to go to BSNL PREPAID, can I use the same CDMA handset?
please clarify.

benny wat u r telling ..bsnl is the only company which s paying the tax regularly all others dodging by putting various cases to delay the tax payments ..bsnl only paying nearly 7000 cr as tax per year…also bsnl only gvg correct figures…they are the only co which s de activating the sims which were not used but no pvt co s doing this…they r making retailers to activate fake sims by gvg nearly 100 rs to the retailers ….to avail bank loans and to get allotment of more spectrum by showing customer fig more ..pl try to verify
selvam February 18, 2011 at 12:36 am
sadique they may pull u now with freebies after porting in u will be squeezed, verify with existing vodaphone customers for top up values..they will b telling more stories more what u r hearing..don’t behind attractive advertisements be careful n selecting reliable service providers..to save ourselves
Raghu February 18, 2011 at 12:30 am
@Aman
agreed BSNL is still not bothered about gathering customers.
selvam February 18, 2011 at 12:27 am
yaa it is the problem with all private sector providers they want to show the figures like sathyam to good hold of loans they bought from banks..
@Karthik
Karthik February 4, 2011 at 10:10 pm
I ported to BSNL from reliance gsm. But both sims are active now.
Neha February 4, 2011 at 7:31 pm

@Kaushik Roy
Dear,bsnlgot 13522 customers upto 31-.01.2011/but he has got new customers in a.p from 01-02-2011 to 03-02-2011. its right news.
Aman February 4, 2011 at 9:40 am
Naresh, private ops will never stop it.. they are jus using retailers to push u to port out..not many are aware of market realities and hence get influenced by retailers. BSNL marketing should really pull up their sock and get their CSC in place else they will be in a bigger soup.
Santu Sovan Mandal February 4, 2011 at 9:19 am
FRC15 for lifetime.
FRC37 for 1p/s.
FRC44 for 49p/min.
FRC33 for “pyaari jodi” plan.

For further clarification & further info, you can call 1800-180-1503(toll-free)from any mobile or landline.
Santu Sovan Mandal February 4, 2011 at 8:10 am

Santu Sovan Mandal February 4, 2011 at 8:09 am
Yes, I’ve ported from idea to bsnl. There are FRC15, FRC37, FRC33, FRC44 to recharge. You can choose one of them.
Sadiq February 4, 2011 at 7:09 am
I Got This Message On My Vodafone Karnataka DEMO Number
“No more First Recharge For MNP Customers..All customers porting in will be on Local @ 1/2p per sec, STD 2p/3s. 100 Local +National SMS Daily Talktime Rs 10… Tariff Validity 90 Days… After 90 Days Choose Your Plan Or Continue With Validity Recharges Available”
This Is The BEST Plan I Heard From Vodafone Till Date…
Mamun February 4, 2011 at 2:35 am
Anyone of you ported into bsnl? What’s the charge of FRC? Is’t free? And what about call rate?
Saurabh February 4, 2011 at 12:20 am
Good to see BSNL giving a tough fight
som February 3, 2011 at 5:56 pm
this is expected.why is it not happening in other circles is a mystery.
could you guys divide the information according to the circles?it’ll be easier to understand which company is gaining in which circle?
naresh February 3, 2011 at 5:08 pm
sir,
bsnl is giving 100 rs. to customer. but vodafone, airtel are giving 350-500 rs to retailer. atleast bsnl is thinking about customer not the retalers. when the pvt companies stop giving commision to retailer then bsnl count will increase more,
Dhananjay February 3, 2011 at 3:31 pm
@Dhananjay
Also let us know which offer for Which Service(3G/2G) and which Plan.
Dhananjay February 3, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Hi,
Mr. Rajeev Aggarwal, there is not clear information on the benefit provide for 3G/2G. BSNL is just saying all different Offer, when contacted CSC, they say all different offer’s in different plan. That means you are just trying to fool out customer. Please try to learn after the static that say how many customer are porting out.

sayan February 3, 2011 at 10:05 am
Friends, please do not port in to BSNL mobile.. they offers the worst mobile service in Hyderabad, there are lots of network congestion, call drops in bsnl metwork all over the day. They still have validity cards in this era of life time connection.. so please don’t shift to bsnl mobile………. you may shift to vodafone or tata docomo
riju February 3, 2011 at 7:11 am
ya in my experience
Saurabh February 3, 2011 at 2:00 am
Hay bsnl plz do some Ad as no one is aware of your offer which are very good when compared to airtel idea and vodafone comparing with network coverage its best value for money company other companies are offering better also but some problem with network in rural areas and meerut cantt where army dont allow to install the tower

they need to inject some youth in BSNL/MTNL along with Seniors.
Raghu February 3, 2011 at 12:12 am
@Manoj Abhigyan
yes we cannot help it.
Manoj Abhigyan February 3, 2011 at 12:08 am
You said it right Benny.
Manoj Abhigyan February 3, 2011 at 12:00 am
Do you say it on your experience or just reasoning? Here in U.P. East if anyone activates FF scheme and recharge with any tariff voucher which provides call rate less than FF scheme this reduced call rate doesn’t apply on FF numbers.
Raghu February 2, 2011 at 11:20 pm
@MTNL BSNL
are u looking at the comments made by Benny.it is 100% true. it is the harassment which is causing a lot of inconvenience to the customers.hence please look into it.

If I register with the BSNL friends and Family scheme, then when I recharged with rs 300 unlimited is these BSNL nos are got free or they are getting deducted as .30 paisa/min……………..as of scheme………

@PD
It really pains me to see the state of affairs in BSNL. I have a BSNL EVDO connection n yesterday was my bill due date. I went to palayamkottai CSC three times from 12 noon to 2pm. There was only one newbie sitting there who dint know how to accept my bill on the computer… He kept on telling me that all others have gone to eat… Please come again later.
Then at 2PM after two previous attempts to pay the bill i lost my temper and shouted at the new guy. He finally told me that it was their employee union elections and all of the employees were busy with it.
Now can u dream of this happening in Airtel/vodafone/docomo or for that matter anywhere in the world?
BSNL and MTNL are managed by inefficient guys who fear their unions backlash and perhaps paid by private operators, deliberately over staff their CSCs.
BSNL serving the good cause of mobile and internet connectivity in every nook and corner of India…. but it has a bad image amongst today’s youth with its horrible customer care, bad plans and STVs. Can u believe BSNL has no combo packs like what all operators have?
BSNL has big potentials and can overtake Airtel and co hands down if there is a big organisational shake up. It needs a new dynamic leader. I wish Mr Sachin Pilot and Kapil Sibal do something about this
Santu Sovan Mandal February 2, 2011 at 10:27 pm
I have ported my idea to bsnl for 5gb data, 100 talktime & 1p/s roaming charge.
riju February 2, 2011 at 10:24 pm
my father’s connection is vodafone.i tried to port in to bsnl but it failed. first vodafone guy called and asked not to port in.
Sushil Modi February 2, 2011 at 10:19 pm
@riju yes kerala figure may favourable for bsnl because bsnl really rocks in kerala
Gappu Ustad February 2, 2011 at 10:15 pm
well done BSNL…. I knw in south india bsnl is dong very well… Kerala bhi jald hi gud news dega..
PD February 2, 2011 at 10:13 pm
@Benny
This fiscal the loss will be 6000 crores ! But that is before MNP ! U rightly said One may find in CC dozens of faces wearing worn-out glasses and sitting behind dilapidated wooden tables and chairs ! Those concerned and have the responsibility of saving these PSUs (include mtnl too) are busy in fixing cozy chairs elsewhere once the torpedoed ship is sunken !
riju February 2, 2011 at 10:09 pm
Want kerala circle data.It may be more than 50000.In kannur SSA only there are more than 1500 port in per day.
Kaushik Roy February 2, 2011 at 10:05 pm
yes my sim was less than 2 years old
A Mohapatra February 2, 2011 at 9:57 pm
What I and my friends have observed is that if your R GSM connection is of within 1-2 years, UPC comes in an instant in first sms but we who were R GSM customers since 6-8 years ( total 12 of us ) went mad to get it – got it after some hundred calls to Reliance CC, 50-60 sms to 1900, 3-5 complaints with Reliance from each of us and several complaints to TRAI.
Others facing such problem, contact TRAI at ca@trai.gov.in.
rohan February 2, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Only 3G will not do. Bsnl shud focus on 2G plans. It shud remove recharges that is done every 6months to continue lifetime validity and also charge 1p/sec to all netwk. And bring cheap onnet packs like 25Rs/month for 10p/min. Also a 30Rs/month of 1GB data.
Kaushik Roy February 2, 2011 at 9:46 pm
But Reliance sent me the UPC code on my first attempt at 1900
reliance even dont call me for not porting
i am ported to idea
Saurabh February 2, 2011 at 9:43 pm
Its not true i m also from UP west and switched from BSNL to tata docomo sucesfully if u have balance more than Rs.2 than it will be no problem just sms PORT ur mobile no and send to 1900 i got the code in less than 5min
Benny February 2, 2011 at 9:43 pm
BSNL’s number of net porting customers might actually be something just because of the free 100rs TT given to all porting customers. Im sure BSNL is doing this just for the numbers while incurring heavy losses. I dont agree with the idea of giving 100 RS TT for every porting in customer.These people might just use up the 100 rs and then porting out after 90 days… BSNL stands to gain nothing by this. Infact BSNL is eating away our precious tax money by various foolish decisions. U go to any BSNL CSC n u will find dozens of employees doing absolutely nothing… all eating up our money. BSNL is already in over 1000′s of crores loss
surya February 2, 2011 at 9:32 pm
i m bsnl customer from up westI am trying to get the MNP code since last 8-10 days but I am not getting the PORTING Request Codebut i m not getting code….customer care are telling..this is govt company you cant port out ..only port in…is this true ?
PD February 2, 2011 at 9:29 pm
They may not have network even for PORTING OUT ! Ha Ha Ha
PD February 2, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Definitely subscribers will clear-cut drubbing and that too with vengeance to those deserving it!
Raj February 2, 2011 at 9:20 pm

I am a R-GSM customer from Mah. I am trying to get the MNP code since last 8-10 days but I am not getting the PORTING Request Code. I am sending sms in correct format but getting response like “Dear Reliance Customer, Your Request could not be processed. Please try after some time. Thank you”
