No network

I have recently shifted to Bangalore. Another friend of mine is supposed to shift to Bangalore in a month or two. We have made an agreement to stay together at Bangalore. So, for the time being, I decided to stay with one of my ex-colleagues. My mobile bill has skyrocketed in the past one month with all the roaming stuff I did. Having done that, I wanted to get a new mobile postpaid connection.


My company is situated in outer ring road and is bit remote. In our working premises, only one service provider has the network coverage (Alas! Please inform Dr. Obama that being bangalored also has few hidden operating cost :| ). So, I was left with no other option. I went to the service provider and applied for new postpaid connection. The executive asked a residential proof and photo-id proof. I submitted photocopies of my passport and PAN card. The executive asked me the local residential address and my office address. I informed them that I have shifted to Bangalore recently and I am in a temporary residence these days. The executive said OK. He asked me that during the residence verification, I shouldn't mention that it is a temporary stay. I nodded! I don't have another network to choose from!


Today, I got a call from the residence verification department of the service provider. He asked me "where are you staying?". I mentioned the address. The executive said OK. He asked me when can he come and meet me at the residence? I replied after 1930hrs in the evening (I am an IT guy and so 1930hrs is indeed an evening time). He agreed!. He told me that if I get a call from checking department, I should say that the office address verification has been done yesterday and residential address verification has been completed today. I nodded my head for the second time. No net work!


Given that don't ask me my mobile number.
