-One Nation,One Number - Full Mobile Number Portability (MNP) from today Friday July 03,2015

 
Mobile operators Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, RCom and others including state-run BSNL and MTNL have announced rolling out from today the Full Mobile Number Portability (MNP) that will allow customers to retain their numbers across the country.

Here's what nationwide NMP means for you:
1) Nationwide mobile number portability means you can now move from one part of the country to another without having to change your number.
2) Not only can you change your mobile operator - say from Airtel to BSNL, or Vodafone to Idea - but you can also retain the same number if you are, say, shifting from Mumbai to Delhi.
3) The government had fixed July 3 as the deadline for a national rollout of MNP. The date was originally  May 03,2015, but was postponed by the government by two months to allow for all telecom operators to complete their implementation.
4) The process for full MNP is the same as intra-city mobile number portability
5) Some operators are offering sops like letting customers transfer their prepaid balance from one circle to the other as long as they stay within their network and not switch to another operator.
6) Others like Airtel are also offering free incoming on national roaming from the time a MNP request is raised and until it is processed (as long as your request is to move within the Airtel network).
