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.
