I want to have a sim with a desired mobile number. I want the sequence 6464435 to be a part of my mobile number ( eg 98-6464455-1 or 9996464435) . Do mobile operators allow me to choose my number this way? Which mobile operators allow me to choose numbers this way? How can I get them and is there any cash necessary for getting it done?

Plz reply within 5PM today

It might be possible because I have seen some institutions useing numbers like 9900776655...Call any CC and ask for the same..

yes it certainly is possible (every FM station has its number set similar to its frequency) but you may have to shell out something extra

Yes, you can. But you will have to pay a large amount. For example, Vodafone provided Number of series 999999999xxx for Rs. 25000 each. Just visit any Exclusive Shop of the network and ask them for the same.

Na...getting a smaller set of no is free but time-consuming process. All the no's in my home happen to end with 3 common no and totally different operators..

^^You can get a number with only three digit of your choice for free. Otherwise you will have to pay.

Well lucky me then, never needed more than 3 no's of my choice. I guess da 'lucky no' idea is not a myth.

Some days back an Airtel salesman came in and promised me a VIP number. I got 007 in my number. When I asked them for a better one, they said that VIP numbers would be given on paying Rs. 750. Visit the cellular services showroom for more info.
