The Department of Telecom (DoT) will roll out the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) from November 25. To begin with, the service will be introduced in Haryana.
In a release, the DoT said, "The countrywide launch of MNP services will start from Haryana Licensed Service Area on November 25, 2010. From this date customers in Haryana will have the option of changing their service provider without changing their mobile numbers."
The department had earlier announced that MNP will be made available to the telephone users from November 1, but delayed it to give time to the service providers to "upgrade their network and other resources", the release said.
"The networks are now technically ready for launch of service. To facilitate an orderly and reliable introduction of MNP services, a suitable migration plan has been evolved in consultation with Mobile Service Providers (MSPs)," the release said.
