Well again hope for All India Mobile Number Portability (MNP) before March 31, 2015

Department of Telecommunications has set a target for implement full level of mobile number portability by 31 March, 2015. As on date Mobile number portability is applicable with the telecom circle. Now it is going to be Inter Telecom Circles.

Today, Mobile is very much required for us, as our number is linked to many applications. Mobile number is linked with Bank transactions, email account authentications, Hall ticket verification, PF account link etc.. and many more.  The dependency of mobile number is at a level that, one of my friend is maintain a mobile of one telecom circle to another telecom circle for about 2 years. This is making us to be effected by NOMOPHOBIA syndrome.NOMOPHOBIA (No Mobile Phone Phobia) is a syndrome, which makes us panic and subject us to anxiety whenever we lost a mobile or if your mobile is out of service further more if you are having zero credit in your mobile it may also unknowingly effect you with NOMOPHOBIA.

In General, if you are transferred from one region to another region generally we used to take a new contact number, but as on date dependency of mobile phone which made us to effect by NOMOPHOBIA is very high. We are ready to pay roaming charges rather than withdrawing it. For this everybody thought Mobile Number Portability is really a Boon. But the fact is as on date we can port our mobile number from service provider to other service provider with in the circle, intra telecom circle only. There is no Inter telecom circle Mobile Number Portability with any Telecom Operator in India.

As per the new guideline, Department of Telecommunication (DOT) is gearing up to implement the full-fledged Mobile Number Portability (MNP) across telecom circles ie., inter telecom circles also. That is you can happily transfer a mobile number from Karnataka service provider to Delhi Service provider. This is going to happen before March 2015. All approvals are going to be freezed at the earliest. Hope we can happily Port our mobile numbers across the telecom service providers further across service providers……Great News.
