However, one of the challenges that most people come across is having to recharge the mobile prepaid account every now and then, and also the phone getting disconnected due to low balance.

If the number is being ported to Airtel postpaid within the same state, it will not take more than 48 hours. However, before you start the process of porting, you must know that the payment to your current provider has to be cleared if you are currently a postpaid customer.
