Here is a bad news for of Prepaid mobile phone subscribers in Jammu & Kashmir. The Ministry of Home Affairs today announced that Its has decided that no pre-paid mobile connections should be issued and existing pre-paid SIM cards should not be renewed in Jammu & Kashmir after November 01, 2009. As a result millions of Prepaid Mobile service users may no longer be able to use their mobile phone connections from November 01.
According to the Press Release from the Ministry of Home Affairs “The Ministry has asked the Department of Telecommunications to take appropriate action in the matter for implementation of the decision. The step comes in the wake of the reports that proper verification is not being done while providing such pre-paid mobile connections by the service providers/vendors”
In some cases, a single person had been issued with multiple number of connections. The fake documents/identity numbers are also reportedly being used by the vendors particularly, in the case of pre-paid connections. This situation had given rise to serious security concerns. Hence, the decision.
This can affect nearly 38 lakh Mobile Subsribers of the state who use prepaid connections from various mobile service operators. The GSM Mobile Operator Airtel has nearly 19 lakh GSM subscribers followed by BSNL having 12 lakh and Aircel having 7 lakh.

Don’t they have anything other to do? Like organizing mujra at netas’ houses?
Sanjay Bafna November 14, 2009 at 5:41 pm
UPDATE-:
With a large number of mobile users in Kashmir seeking to switch over to post-paid plans after the government banned pre-paid connections in the state, the BSNL today said the company would keep all its offices open on 15 NOV 2009 SUNDAY in the Valley tomorrow to help the customers in the process.
The decision has been taken keeping in view the convenience of the public looking for new mobile connections and changing their prepaid connections to postpaid, a BSNL spokesman said

The whole prepaid business is virtually dead in J & K. No recharge happening. Subscribers left in astray to wander for post paid connections. Operators are likely to earn 195 cr in J & K against new post paid connecions. Demanding security deposit which is refundable, a new charge has been levied on subscribers as “Activation Charge” which is non refundale. The Post Paid Plan war in J & K has begun. I have named it as PPP Jung. Hope you like it!!

Vinod November 4, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Respected Sir,
Iam the RELIANCE prepaid Subscriber from JAMMU, I Requested to the DEAPRTMENT OF TELE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT that the prepaid connection will not be banned.
and the RECHARGE COUPONS of the prepaid connections issued early soon as possible.
Becouse in Today life Two things are the back bone of the man; 1st is Transport and 2nd is Telecommunication.If one of them is missing there is lot of problems which will be face by the peoples. So for the development of the State and mass – media, Prepaid connection will not be closed. But in the matter of Security Few important steps should be taken by Everyone Like Subscriber Verification Should be Hard.So that the Prepaid connection will not go in Wrong Hands.
In the end I Requested to the government & Telecommunication Department that Prepaid connection Will Not be Closed.
Thanks Regards…
wajid November 4, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Nothing is going in our way so far, Validity has been extended but the recharge is a major concern, No body is able to use cell phones these days, We have been shifted 5 years back in terms of development,, unemployment issue is going to strike valley again, lets wait and watch,,,

Many no’s had been barred yesterday and airtel and aircel looted the customers…airtel subscribers were told to rc 45 so that thr validity wud extend by 3 months and rc 50 ws for aircel…
Whereas vodafone,reliance extended the validity themselves without charging any penny…
Tata indi ws to be recharged by re1 to get val. Of more 90 days…
After the end the looser and bullshit bsnl did nothng…
See now bsnl wil loose atleast 40% customers here….
Vodafone helped its customers without charging any single penny..

Wow man i think aircel will lead here …people here r crazy about it as they have gathered in 100′s nd more to get the postpaid connection….airtels showrooms are dry and vodafone is also having lots of people inside thr vms’s and even in vodafone store their is no space for oxygen…
Lots of mistakes in my words..i am sori for that actually i am in college right now giving internal exams of stenography…hahahahahaha

Fahad October 31, 2009 at 10:05 am
God knows better about charging to retain old no’s…
I will go with vodafone better in everyway and its postpaid plans are damn good
Anuj October 31, 2009 at 9:58 am
I am sure you people ‘ll have option to retain old prepaid number. You ‘ll just need to re submit documents & collect new postpaid SIM of same number(this is a usual method while migrating to postpaid or vice versa). Probalely companies won’t charge you extra. Well this is just my guess..
But atleast good part for you is that have both options of Airtel & Vodafone to choose. Both these companies are known for best services on postpaid segments, be it at billing front, activation/deactivation of services or customer care.

Wake up politicians wake up dont make ths nonsense step tuk place

In Kashmir One day, India would announce that Kashmiris do not need food and air, they should be banned to breath and sleep… this is the wost face of the biggest democracy of the world that the dwellers of a particular area are being denied basic immunities and facilities, world community should take a note of it

Fahad October 30, 2009 at 10:14 pm

Cheap thinking that prepaid sims are getting barred
Mohd Azim Sheikh October 30, 2009 at 10:04 pm

@Anuj
their is a correction
199 mins will be only used for local network
firstonnet October 30, 2009 at 9:21 pm
That means Govt agreed that all prepaid connections are fake docs. After some day they will stop prepaid connections of Delhi, Mumbai if terorist attack on our capital & Eco Capital….
What a solutions find out by our politicians great idiot man who control our country. They are unable to find out any sugestion on this except ban. How can they dare to ban prepaid connections? How can other ops agreed on this? means they also agreed that they recievd documents are fake & 100% prepaid connections are not submitted their true documents.I think this is a first time in the world of Telecom going to happen.
altaf October 30, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Vodafone came out with a new postpaid plan with a monthly rental of rs 199

Beyond this every local or std cal wil be charged @ 50p..dhamaka by vodafone

Agnivo October 30, 2009 at 8:07 pm
What i think is the telcos will be kind enough and offer very low cost postpaid plans for the local people. Prepaid has high risk of fraud… for postpaid, physical verification is done. Stick to it, you guys are living in a hit zone for years, bore so much, why blame operators for this, after all its a national security issue. And of course enough time will be provided, telcos are not booting you out tomorrow!

We have to take an early step dude
rohin October 30, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Its true that what ever has hapnd is because of the cellular companies only.
where an employ of a cellular company is given a target he has no other option but has to achiv it at any cost so he sells fake sims ultimately the result is in front of us
Now u tell Who’s RESPONSIBLE???????????
altaf October 30, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Its news for J&K subscriber….ye kya ho gaya man… just idea ne launch liya tha very bad news for the people. Guyz Try to convert your number to postpaid as soon as possible.
Idrees October 30, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Look at them”the bunch of bloody animals”forcing us to compromise within ourselves when they feel no other means to takle the prob,no info to customers by either of the operators,i think “unke jeb garam karke niptadenge.fahad bhai ,were wil be the next CHALO ,most probably “TELECOM OFFICE CHALO”

blah blah blah.. i can’t imagine the scenario after implementation of this… issuing millions of postpaid bills, its accuracy, transparnacy like skills will get tested ALONG WITH PATIENCE OF COMMON MAN… but is it the so necessary step with that kind of priority..? of course not.. POSTPAID ISN’T MEAN SECURE WITH 100% VAlIDATION OF PROOF…
what the hell government is doing..??
RDB October 30, 2009 at 5:11 pm
i think all operators shud come with zero rental lifetime post paid plan …. pay what u used ! …
