Aircel, one of India’s leading innovative telecom service providers, today launched National Mobile Number Portability (NMNP) aligned to the Government’s mandate to roll-out the service from July 3, 2015. This landmark step enables customers from across the country to easily shift from one State to another, if required, without now having to face the ordeal of changing their mobile numbers.

Aircel brings in maximum ease to the porting process of shifting from one telecom circle to the other. All that customers need to do is to present a Unique Porting Code (UPC) – easily generated by sending an SMS to the advised short code from any location - to their preferred Aircel Retail Outlet, in order to enable NMNP.

Aircel has successfully cemented its place as a brand that has the best interests for its consumers, encouraging uniformity in offerings. Earlier this year, Aircel launched the lowest-ever unlimited Aircel to Aircel Roaming, STD and Local calls at just 10p/min, calling it ‘Uniting India @ 10p/min’. More recently and in another industry-first, the company introduced ‘Five States, One Rate’ to its customers in South India, enabling  roaming on the Aircel network with FREE incoming calls while travelling between five states, namely Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and with a constant outgoing Local/STD call rate at 1 paisa per second.
