Telecom regulator Trai has issued
draft regulations to facilitate full
mobile number portability which is
set to start from May 3.
The full or nationwide mobile number
portability (MNP) will allow
consumers to change service provider
in any part of the country while
retaining their existing number. At
present, mobile number portability
allows consumers to change their
service provider within a telecom
circle which in most cases is limited
to a state.
“In view of implementation of full
MNP some changes will be required
in the MNP Regulations 2009 (as
amended). Accordingly, draft
amendment to the
Telecommunication Mobile Number
Portability Regulation, 2009, has been
prepared,” Trai said in a statement.
The Department of Telecom on
November 3, 2014 issued amendment
to the MNP Licence Agreement and
asked telecom operators to
implement full MNP within a period
of six months from the date of
amendment to the licences.
In the new amendment Trai wants to
introduce a clause to safeguard
interest of post-paid mobile service
users who face disconnection in new
network even after clearing all their
dues of their old service provider.
The regulator has fixed timeline on
both the old or donor service
provider and new or recipient service
provider for clear communication
about dues cleared by the subscriber
to ensure continuity of service.
Trai has sought public comments on
the subject by February 6, 2015.
