Vodafone blocking MNP SMS to 1900...!!

[Frenil Gandhi]

Hello Guys, dt 06 May, 2019.
Here’s a solution if your message is getting blocked.
Recharge 35₹ plan of balance + 100mb + “26 day validity”.
It will give your card a validity period and activate your services.
Once done. You’ll be able yo send message to port your number.
I’ve tried it just now, Reliance Jio home delivery guy informed me about this method.

Vodafone basically blocks all calls and messages once your plan validity is over.
Plan OVER = Sim validity OVER.
It is only done by vodafone and no other carrier.
Recharge 35 you’ll be able to send message.
And if you don’t get reply from 1901, then send message to 1900 again.

MNP sms is going through now.
there is a new addition called CANCEL XXXXXXX to 1900
cancel space mobile number to 1900 to cancel the porting request.

can someone tell how that really works?

cos i have sent PORT XXXXXX to 1900
then porting code came then i sent CANCEL XXXXXX to 1900
there was no reply.

That porting code means nothing unless you give it to an operator for a new connection. It will expire on its own in a few days.

Despite having enough balance in my postpaid connection (in fact I paid extra 100 apart from my monthly bill as suggested by the Vi customer care executive, so that portability happens smoothly) the sms PORT xxxxxxxxxx to 1900 there is no response. Even the customer care executives are informing they have escalated to level 1 level 2 but still nothing happening. I am getting the doubt that this might not be an technical glitch but done purposely.

Convert it to prepaid first then if they are so bent . Threaten them that you will not pay bill . Just some stunt VI does in the first to retain customers

Nothing new. Visit a showroom nearby or register complaint on pgportal.

I am also not able to send message to 1900. All other sms are working fine.My last recharge is rs. 49. Lodged complain to customer care. They have promised to solve it in 5 working days. Worst experience from Vodafone.

Recharge 20 rupees, should do the trick
