cannot access *121# and says invalid number on 121

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560037

I recently ported my airtel prepaid no. [protected] from mp-cg circle to airtel karnataka circle.

Post porting, i am able to make outgoing calls from the airtel number. However, i am unable to receive any calls. Whenever someone tries to call me, they get a message - "number is invalid". This is really disappointing. Airtel doesn't seem to have any immediate solution.

Also i get error code 536 on dialing *121#...
