It seems mobile phone users in Gujarat are not happy with their service providers. At least the data provided by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) suggests that.
A release by the regulator says that as huge as 3,64,849 subscribers changed their service providers in just 40 days.
The TRAI release says the number of requests received from Gujarat is the highest among all 22 telecom circles in India.
The ‘Mobile Number Portability’ (MNP) service was made available in the country from January 20, 2011. And of more than 4.35 crore mobile connections in the state, 3,64,849 wanted portability.
Till late 2009, there were only six operators in Gujarat, but now the choice is wide, making people switch to operators that give comparatively better services.
Idea Cellular had the highest ‘port in’ requests at 28,803 during the period. As per industry sources, Reliance and BSNL have lost the maximum number of connections in the state during the period. While Reliance (both GSM and CDMA) lost 40,000 customers, BSNL lost 25,132 customers.

I too have ported my no from Reliance to Airtel. I think this is a very good option for consumers.
