Mobile Number Portability from December 31
TRAI issued guidelines on Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Per Port Transaction as well as Dipping charges thereby setting the stage for implementation of MNP in India from December 31 this year.
TRAI fixed the Per Port Transaction Charge at Rs 19 i.e. the service provider to which the subscriber wants to migrate will have to pay the MNP system provider, Rs.19.
Government has fixed the deadline of December 31, 2009, by which operators should ready their networks for porting of numbers in metros.
Accordingly the service is likely to be available in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
The Dipping Charge i.e. the charge paid by Access Provider or ILD provider to MNP provider has been left for the parties to mutually decide. The porting charge i.e. charge paid by the subscriber will not exceed Rs 19.
The charges fixed by TRAI are very low when compared to earlier expectations of the amount to be in the range of Rs 250.
