Just went through this nightmare last week! Here's the reality - changing your mobile number as a Rapido captain is more complicated than it should be.First, understand why it's difficult:- Security measures to prevent account theft- KYC compliance requirements- Payment gateway linkages to your numberStep-by-step what actually works:1. Document preparation: Have your Aadhaar, new SIM, and captain ID ready2. Visit partner center: Third-party centers handle these changes better than app support3. Biometric verification: They'll likely require fingerprint authentication4. Wait 24-48 hours: The system needs time to update across all platformsIf you can't visit a center:- Use the in-app chat support and be persistent- Send scanned copies of your Aadhaar and new SIM purchase receipt- Follow up every 12 hours until it's resolvedHonest advice: Schedule this when you can afford 2-3 days offline. The process isn't instant like regular apps.

Dealing with Rapido support can be frustrating, but here's what worked when I needed to change my number last month:Method 1: Through the App- Go to Profile > Settings > Contact Info- If the change option is greyed out, you'll need method 2Method 2: Contact Support Directly- Email support@rapido.in with your captain ID and request- Call their helpline 080-46806600 - Use the "Help & Support" section within the appYou'll need these documents ready:- New SIM card with active number- Aadhaar card for verification- Existing captain ID detailsPro tip: Visit a Rapido office if there's one in your city - it's much faster than online support. I went to the Bangalore office and got it done in 30 minutes versus 5 days of back-and-forth emails.The verification process is strict because they need to prevent fraud and ensure passenger safety.

From a virtualization consultant's perspective, here are some additional considerations when dealing with vCenter 8 evaluation licenses:Before making changes:- Back up your vCenter Server - just in case something goes wrong- Check license compatibility - ensure your new license supports your current configuration- Plan for downtime - license changes might require brief service restartsIf you're in a bind:- 60-day evaluation can sometimes be reset by redeploying vCenter- VMware partners can often provide temporary licenses while purchasing- Free ESXi licenses are available for very small environmentsCommon pitfalls:- Trying to use expired evaluation features that become unavailable- License assignment errors when mixing different edition licenses- SSO domain issues when redeploying with new evaluationFor homelab users: Consider VMware's VMUG Advantage program which provides affordable annual licensing for personal use rather than dealing with evaluation limitations.The process is generally smooth, but always have a rollback plan when working with production environments!
