Correct Procedure for Mobile Number Portability From Loop Mobile to other Operator

I was a user of Loop Mobile ( Dus ka Gang ) for last three years. Due to a few reasons I wanted to move to Idea Cellular Network.

This post is basically tutorial about  How to Port your number from One Operator To Other 
Since I had given my number to many people MNP was the only option for me. I searched the internet for ways to port out of Loop Mobile and was shocked to find out that a large number of people faced problems to port out.

This Loop Mobile MNP problem had restricted me for months to do the transfer.
Now I am going to tell you the correct way to port out of Loop Mobile


Step 1.
Loop insist that you should be in the BASE plan before porting out.
Just call the customer care and tell him you want to port out ( he may hang up :) !! , just call again! )
He will tell you that you must be in BASE plan and give you the instructions to do so.
Just follow the instructions ( Simple sms like BASE to 50505, but confirm it again!!)
The Plan will change in 3 Hours so wait for three hours


Step 2.
In the BASE Plan.
Once your in the base plan your call rate will be very high.
Mine were Rs.1 per min all calls and Rs.1.50 per SMS!!
Now move to Step 3


Step 3.
Request For Unique Porting Code
Send a Request for Unique Porting Code to 1900
Best way is to got to Mobile Gallery of the operator you want to port your number.
I went to the IDEA gallery in Ghatkopar. He gave me the instruction for getting the UPC ( sms PORT <your 10 digit mobile number> to 1900)
UPC will be recieved immediately.


Step 4.
Filling the new Registration Form 
Take the necessary documents to new Operators Mobile gallery along with UPC and fill the Form ( Usually the sales boy fills it)
Dont make any mistakes here (dont give them a chance for rejecting ur form!)
Pay the new operator charges for New Sim card ( They charged me Rs.25 although TRAI had set maximum charge to Rs.19)


Step 5.
Start Calling your Current Operator's customer care Frequently 
Call the Customer care and ask him when will your number be ported.
One Customer Care Operator told me 7 Days
One told me 90 days!
But I didnt budged I used to call them atleast 3 times in a day!
Don't Lose hope if they hang up your calls.
If they give you bizzare answers tell him about TRAI 7 days policy.
If he tells you 90 days tell him that is never mentioned in the TRAI rules


Step 6.
Call from Loop Mobile regarding your Porting Request
Finally you will get a call from Loop Mobile regarding the porting request you submitted and why you want to port out.
Give any simple reason ( I said all my friends had IDEA  )


Step 7.
Message from 1901 Regarding the NO SERVICE period.
Success. Finally you will get a message regarding No Service period from 1901.
After this period Put your new operators SIM card in your mobile and Enjoy the service of new operator.


Note that this way I ported out my Number from Loop Mobile to IDEA.
Your Experience may be very very different.
These Steps should be used as a Guide and I am not responsible any consequences whatsoever
