To port or not to port for VodafoneIdea customers

[godric_gt]

Ah thats reminds me of my experience with Uninor. Airtel Vodafone werent accepting unless we took postpaid, finally went with Aircel. I miss both Uninor and Aircel.

Common tactic, just say you would rather go to rival provider or drop number than take postpaid, they would change tune - Atleast I have seen it happen a couple of times.

now they would laugh and say. who else is left?

 

[mhsabir]

Well, Jio & BSNL are there...... If you are confident & firm, that should budge a few of the service reps atleast. Its a natural sales tactic, see how learned/aware customer is... If not aware, dump some unwanted shit... But if lookis like loosing customer, give what he asks/wants.

 

[Sushubh]

also best is to go to a company outlet.

I could be wrong but even if they survive in one form or the other (they may well be made to survive), in some areas reception could only get worse before it improves & its that phase when they could loose most customers.

Smart move on their part. Be prepared for the worst.
'Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio—don’t have adequate capacity to immediately absorb the massive influx to their networks, say experts.'
Important point

Better to port out than be sorry. If anything better happens then we can always port back after sometime.

 

[socrates]

Yup better not get stuck in the stampede that could ensue later.
