Does it work in Bangalore? It (the registration itself) does not work here in Chennai yet. When I check with CC 5 times, one person mentioned that they need to program for that it would take a couple of days and we wld get a message once ready..... they other four, as usual, gave some BS !!

bhargawa (ii) is right. the std number comes first then the local. you have to send the sms to 53733 (if bangalore), 3733 (if chennai). the prefix will be:FFE - Friends Family Excel (prepaid)FFC - Friends Family Cellone (postpaid)I did activate for my prepaid connection (bangalore) and my dad's prepaid (chennai). it did work. however FnF activation did not work in my wife's postpaid connection. i called CC, they asked me to try send the sms after a week and see.

Only prepaid works.. for postpaid, you have to give written application in nearest customer care center.. ! I did get a confirmation saying it is accepted, and later i got another sms saying 'it cannot be processed at this time' ! Called customer care and they said 'it can be only done for prepaid'.. not postpaid...
