Number Porting from Hotlink to U Mobile

For the last one year I have been using Maxis Hotlink prepaid mobile service. Since then I had to recharge every time my mobile to keep it in active mode. When a amount 5RM is top up I get a validity for a week even though I have enough credit left the account gets suspended. Being not a heavy user I don't make GSM calls that often but use other means like Viber and Whatsapp for communication. Also the price of internet for a day is 2RM for 100MB and for a week it was 8RM.

I came to know thru a friend +Dhanish Athif that U Mobile is offering prepaid packages with unlimited internet and double the validity period. Thus I got attracted to this and started with my home work.

First I had to check if my present number was under my name even though I bought it from a Maxis counter. But when checked the number was under someone else. After visiting Maxis Center I was able to change it to my name but the agent again did a mistake by typing my passport number wrong which later created the delay. Again this was rectified by them.

I visited the U Mobile Center at Times Square and checked on the porting, the lady asked to fill a form and completed the paper formalities and gave me a SIM card asking me to replace when the present hotlink sim gets deactivated. I received my welcome SMS from U mobile but later next day I received another SMS from them saying the porting has been rejected by my present operator. I checked for the reason and came to know it was the passport number not matching issue. But later maxis fixing it, I went to U Mobile desk at Midvalley and asked the same and the gentleman removed the existing request from the system and re-requested. As soon as I came out of the shop I received the welcome sms.

The next morning around 1000 i received another SMS saying that porting was successful and I can start using my new sim in 2 hours time from that. Also received another sms from Maxis for thanking for being with them.

Now its been few days since I am on U Mobile network, so far it good for me.
