SIM porting, also known as Mobile Number Portability (MNP), is the process of switching from one mobile network provider to another while retaining your current mobile number. With Prune, this process is fully digital, hassle-free, and completed at your doorstep. How to Port Your Number with Prune: 1. Visit Prune.co.in and go to the SIM product page. 2. Select the "Port Number" option instead of "New Connection". 3. Choose your desired telecom provider (Airtel, Jio, VI, or BSNL). 4. Enter your current mobile number that you wish to port. 5. Generate a Unique Porting Code (UPC) by sending: 6. PORT <your mobile number> to 1900 from your existing SIM. 7. Enter the UPC received in the required field at checkout. 8. A Prune agent will visit your location to complete the KYC process, which includes: - Verifying a government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, or Voter ID) - Capturing a live photo 9. After successful KYC, the agent will hand over your new SIM card. 10. Insert the new SIM once your old service is deactivated—typically within 3 to 5 working days. Important Notes: - The UPC is valid for 5 days from the date of issue. - Your existing number must be active with your current operator for at least 90 days. - Postpaid users should not have pending dues with their existing provider. - With Prune, number portability is quick, paperless, and 100% doorstep-enabled—no need to visit a store.
