Steps to move your mobile number to BSNL

1. To begin with, you need to generate UPC (Unique Porting Code) by sending SMS to 1900.
UPC is an alphanumeric code allocated, upon request, by a mobile operator to its subscriber
for the purpose of facilitation of porting of his/her mobile number to another operator.
• SMS to be sent: PORT <your Mobile Number> to 1900
• Eg. SMS PORT 9XXXXXXXX to 1900
2. After sending SMS to 1900, you will receive UPC (Unique Porting Code) as a SMS from 1901
giving 8 digit alpha-numeric Unique Porting Code (UPC).
3. Visit your nearest BSNL CSC.
4. Fill BSNL Mobile Number Porting (MNP) form providing details like
• Current Mobile Number
• Current Operator name
• UPC code
5. Submit Address & Id proof documents, self-attested photo and last bill copy of postpaid
connection (if applicable) along-with filled MNP form and Customer Agreement Form.
6. Get BSNL MNP SIM card from BSNL CSC. SIM charges, talktime value and porting charge
are non-refundable in the event of cancellation / rejection of port-in request.
7. BSNL will send an SMS on your old/existing operator’s SIM (existing connection) intimating
about the porting date and time, i.e. the date and approximate time till when you can continue
to use your existing operator’s SIM card.
8. There will be a 2-hour ‘no service period’ which will begin after the porting time as given
above. The ‘no service period’ will be between 12 midnight to 5 am during which your mobile
service will not be active on any SIM. All efforts will be made to ensure that this ‘no service
period’ causes minimum inconvenience to you.
9. After the ‘no service period’, you can replace your existing operator’s SIM card with the new
BSNL SIM card in your handset.
