Availability of Mobile Number Portability – A myth?

March 18, 2010

There have been many talks and rumours about the mobile fraternity migration from 3G services to 3.5G and even 4G services, however mobile users in India still haven’t had the opportunity to use the 3G services except for the few subscribed to MTNL and its limited coverage in 3G arena.

However, it may not be easy to switch over to a different network especially when your current number is widespread and changing as it will involve reprinting your business cards and informing everyone you know via SMS, a costly alternative. Mobile Number Portability or MNP is a solution to this where a user can switch over to a desired network without having to change his number.

So far MNP has just been a theory with its launch date constantly postponed since the infrastructure requirement for this technology change has been lacking. Availability of this facility will comes with improved benefits as service providers may introduce schemes to preserve their customer base.
