New Delhi: Mobile phone users will soon be able to change telecom operators and retain their numbers even if they are relocating to areas outside the service providers’ operations. At present, mobile subscribers have restricted facility of changing their telcos while retaining their number within same service area using mobile number portability (MNP).
For example, a subscriber in Delhi NCR can switch operator within Delhi NCR only. The Department of Telecom has set a target date of March 31, 2015 to implement the full mobile number portability (MNP), an official source said.
