In what came as a huge relief to Aircel users, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) allowed users to port their number before the 90-day cap limit, reported the Times of India. "The regulator has allowed them to port out of the Aircel network even if they are yet to complete the mandated 90-day period with the operator", the report said. The debt-ridden Aircel has a customer base of around 8 crore. To ensure subscriber convenience, TRAI is also likely to grant additional port out codes to Aircel with extended validity of 45 days instead of 15 days, which is the norm.
