Mobile Number portability set to miss date
Mobile number portability (MNP), which allows consumers to change their mobile operator without having to give up their phone number, is unlikely to roll out from January 1.
Most operators say they are not prepared to the offer the service from January 1, as instructed by the telecom sector watchdog Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
A senior official, who did not wish to be identified, said most operators including state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) have not yet upgraded their network to facilitate MNP. The telecom department had given licences to Telcordia and Syniverse to implement MNP. Telecom operators were to upgrade their networks for this.
