How to change ownership of a Vodafone Prepaid Number?

[r.k]

I am customer of Vodafone pre-paid services(Chennai circle).
Recently I have got a Phone which supports Micro sim only.My current sim is regular one and cannot use it on that phone.I also wish to get a 3G version of micro sim for my existing number.This number was taken on my Friend's name and I am using it.
What is the process I hve to follow to get a new sim card in my name?
Currently I am staying in Coimbatore (ie Taminadu circle),
Can I get replacement sim here in Coimbatore for chennai circle sim card?Pls let me knpw the complete process to get a new sim card.

hmm. this is according to my understanding so it could be wrong.
to get the ownership of a mobile connection changed, you need a NOC from the original owner and verification documents from both parties.
simpler would be just getting the sim cut from the local market and activate 3G on it. i do not think you need a new sim for 3G connectivity.

i tried that, but i damaged the sim circuit, still its working fine with my Nokia, when I palce with remaing simcard portion.
Its not wrking on microsim supported phone, treid on two phones
Vodaofne sim has bigger circuit when compared to airtel sim, it got damaged

In case of porting you can port a number from one circle to another,so i guess you can replace.

Mobile Number Portability between different circles has launched? I seem to be losing it completely.
