You are being transferred from one city to another city and you are worried about changing the mobile number. You will not have to worry about it. Mobile numbers portability (MNP) at the country level has been cleared to be applied. Telecom Commission on 15th Oct, 2014 passed an important resolution. The mobile client, going to another telecom circle from current one, will be able to maintain their old mobile number despite taking the second mobile company service. The MNP service is currently limited to just the customer's own circle. It is believed that the Department of Telecom (DoT) may give instructions to implement it from March 2015. The decision was pending since the UPA government's tenure. It is believed that the decision was delayed for quite a long time because of under pressure of telecom firms.
