I'm Karthikeyan M. I have a Tata Indicom Prepaid Number(9283227892) from Chennai Circle. I gave a request for Mobile Number Porting from Tata Indicom to Vodafone (Chennai Circle). I got a message from Tata Indicom saying that my MNP request has been rejected because of 'Inter service area porting'. I approached the Tata Indicom showroom at Velacherry, Chennai, and explained them that both Port In & Port Out are Chennai Circle. After a couple of days, the Tata Indicom people told that it is their System fault & now it has been rectified and asked me to give a fresh MNP request. This time I gave a Porting request from tata Indicom to Tata Docomo with the same UPC. They told me that, it will be ported in 7 working days. Nothing happened. When I approached the Tata Indicom showroom at Velacherry, they told me the request is not logged in their system & asked me to give a request.

This time, i got a new UPC (on 14/02/2011), and gave a fresh request for porting from Tata Indicom to Vodafone(on 15/02/2011). The UPC is TT845893 valid till 01/03/2011. My Mobile Number is 9283227892. When I approached the Vodafone guys in Anna Nagar, Chennai, I was told that the Tata Indicom People has not yet approved the Porting yet.

From this it is clear that Tata Indicom is deliberately postponing the approval & by that time UPC will become invalid & hence retaining the Customer. It is a cheap practice followed by Tata Indicom. I didn't expect this sort of treatment from the house of Tata.

If my Porting request is rejected/ignored by the tata Indicom people this time, I'm getting ready to take legal action against them.
