WILL MOBILE NUMBER PORTABILITY REALLY BENEFIT USERS ?


“Nature and signature doesn’t change easily.”
-- Oriental saying.

Today even your contact (mobile) number will not change. Yes, it will remain the same till you want; it doesn’t matter which telecom service you are using.

Earlier, if you were dissatisfied it was very difficult to change your telecom service. The reason being, if you change your service your number changes and a lengthy process starts all over again i.e. to inform all those people who had your earlier number, by a way of messages, e-mail, calls, etc. This not only irritates us, but sometimes causes a difficulty to all our friends, colleagues, family etc.
This joint step of the telecom operators, allows us to keep our mobile number same even if we switch between any of the services. If the rates are nominal it’ll be a bonus for all the users. And if it’s for free, it becomes a win-win situation for us. Overall it’s awaited by everyone that this implementation should happen as soon as possible.
