How expensive can a VIP number be?

The price of a VIP or fancy mobile number depends entirely on its pattern, demand, and telecom circle. Generally, common fancy numbers with two or three identical digit combinations, such as 1212, 4545, 9090, can cost between 500 and 2,000 rupees. These numbers are relatively readily available, so their prices are lower.

On the other hand, special and high-demand patterns, such as 9999, 0000, 1111, 786, or consecutive ascending and descending numbers (1234, 4321), can cost anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 rupees. In some cases, the price can even exceed this. Some premium or rare numbers can cost even more. Especially in larger cities or metro circles, where demand is high.

Three key factors come into play when determining pricing:

Number pattern and uniqueness: The simpler and more memorable the number, the more expensive it can be.

Telecom circle: Prices may be higher in metros and larger states compared to smaller areas.

Availability and demand: Sometimes, certain numbers have limited stock, which increases their market prices.

Therefore, before purchasing a VIP number, it's important to check the exact pricing from the respective telecom operator's official website or store.

How to avoid fraud?
Buy numbers only from the official website or company store. Dealing with third-party agents can be a risk of fraud. Therefore, don't follow any links without thorough verification.
