Changing your mobile service provider, without changing your mobile number is called as MNP (Mobile number portability)
Lets see how MNP works
All you need to do is send a sms from your phone to 1900.Your present service provider will reply with a unique porting code.Use that code while filling out a detailed form for the provider you want to shift to. Within 48 hours, that company will take over all your cell services. This may cost you a meagre Rs 19.
Your mobile number will be switched off for only one hour. All bills after that are payable to your new provider. Once a subscriber ports his number to the new operator,then, he will have to wait for at least 90 days before he can change his operator again. While you can shift from a GSM service to CDMA or vice versa, you cannot shift from one state to another.
And its expected that this system would likely to be launched throught the country by the end of December.
