Can I keep my current phone number when switching to a postpaid plan?

Yes, you can definitely keep your existing mobile number when you switch from a prepaid to a postpaid connection. The process is called Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and is facilitated by all major operators like Airtel, Jio, Vi etc.

To port your number to a postpaid plan, follow these steps:

• Choose the postpaid plan you want to switch to and apply for number porting at the new operator's store.
• Submit your proof of identity, existing mobile number and filled MNP application form.
• The new operator will then initiate the porting process, which typically takes 3-5 working days.
• During this time, your existing prepaid connection will remain active to avoid any disruption in services.
• Once ported, the old SIM will stop working, and the same mobile number will start working on the new postpaid connection.
• Set up account details, auto-pay, billing preferences, etc, for your new postpaid connection.
