[Query-Resolved] MNP process to transfer ownership workarouds

Guys, here is the situation.
My brother’s sim card is with me as he is abroad. The sim card stops working randomly/intermittently -> the solution is to get a new SIM card. The connection is prepaid. The sim operators deny to issue a new sim unless the sim owner comes forward. I mean I cannot get a new replacement SIM on his behalf.
I’m thinking to initiate a port SMS, and submit the port code and my documents with new operator. This would enable be get a new sim card without the previou owner being present. While I’m against this kind of jumla, I don’t see any way out. Did any one try this or any one see any issue going forward with change in owner name?
Thanks in advance.

He doesn’t, I’m just concerned about the possible SIM loss in case things go wrong in the last moment.

You just need port code

Not problem at all, just port it out with your document, nobody will ask you about owner that number. Give port request to retailer not through store. They might question you about its owner.

Just curious, how will retailer (local shops around) or store(official network folks) know who is the previous owner

Bro,Don’t visit store. They will question random things and atlast reject porting.
Instead goto chatrivala guys with port code and get your work done along with offers

Yes I don’t see any issue here except for the address proof which is anyway ensured. I wanted to hear if anyone has done it and if there any troubled path we should stay away from

Then no issues, just go to any local shop and give upc code and your documents. It will be changed in your name. Anyway they can’t see previous owner details or whether it was you or someone else. Only company has the details and it is alright for them.

You ’ll not face any issue.
Also, if you want, you can do MNP by yourself at your home ! And that too at lesser price than store/retailer.

Different question: My prepaid SIM also belongs to my father. Can we go to the store and get it changed to my name? I think it’s only allowed in postpaid connection, someone on Twitter was complaining about it.

Prepaid is also allowed, but the documentation/process may be little messy.

Better option is to port out and port back
Ok, most may not believe. but this is what I saw when I went to BSNL for port-in of my secondary connection.
There came a customer who wanted to change the name on prepaid connection. She was informed some good amount of documentation, and it will be done after that. This is with BSNL. I comfortably assumed if BSNL can do it, so can others.

Yes. SIM ownership change is allowed in case of blood relatives but trust the greedy telcos to exploit it as well.

All telco outlets force customers to get postpaid as they earn comission on it. They won’t give customer prepaid connection at all giving all sorts of excuses like prepaid sim isn’t available etc.
Best is to get porting done from roadside authorised (where company employee, not 3rd party retailers ) stall sells sim.
I have ported my mother’s as well as my aunt’s sim in my name just because I didn’t want to take extra efforts to personally get then to stalls.
Only thing you need is porting code. And porting of prepaid is easiest thing. For postpaid you have to plan according to billing cycle to avoid payment issues.

Any update bro? I am in a similar dilemma except Simcard is abroad and with VI network and want to move to a cheaper BSNL validity.
You need a porting code irrespective of where the sim location is. I have another month to get into this, but it looks straight forward if you have the port code
