[Resolved]  Aircel — unable to send port message. have been trying for 20 days.

Address:Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302025

Hello,

I am unable to send port message to 1900. It shows sending and after 5 minutes or so, it says sending failed without any error message. I have been trying this for last 20 days with same result. The message format is:
Port 968*

I am able to send normal messages, but not the port message.
I called the customer care and they said it will be resolved in 48 hours, which i know is a complete lie as this isn't a new issue.
Aircel is trying to be oversmart by not allowing it's customers to send port message as this issue has been reported several times on several forums for over a year.

Please provide me upc code.

Regards,
Vishal

My number which i want to port is [protected]

Hello,

I had already specified the format of message. Nevertheless, following is the format of sending the message:

PORT [protected]

and sending it to 1900.
I don't get any error message, just sending fails after 4-5 minutes.
Attaching the screenshot.

Thanks

What do you mean by "that particular area"? I am living in Jaipur city, not in a village.
All messages, except the port message are being sent.

Is that a problem of "that particular area"? Can port message be sent ONLY from some specific/pre-defined areas?

You can simply provide me UPC code.
What's there that only Aircel store people can assist, which you people can't?
