Mobile number portability is an interesting new concept
in India. The privilege offered in this plan is you retain the same
number but only the service provider gets changed. In the year 2008,
this plan was unveiled by the then Telecom Minister, A.Raja, with four
metro cities, earmarked for the inauguration of this service.
This service was subsequently rolled out within a period of 6-12 months. Telecom Regulatory authority of India (TRAI) approved of this scheme in June 2009. Subsequently, this was decided that an operator would be fixed up for giving and operating all the mobile number portability solutions. Well if you have already applied for the Mobile Number Portability then you can follow below steps to check the status. However if you have not yet applied, then you should check how to apply and Mobile Number Potability procedure here.
Why this scheme was launched?
This scheme was exclusively launched to check on the faulty cellular
services given by the operators from time to time. As the user is in a
helpless position to change the number, he is compelled to accept the
faulty services. In this facility, the number remains the same without
causing any inconvenience to the user; only the cellular service
provider gets changed.
