January 20, 2011, according to Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal.
The first stage of the Mobile Number Portability services starts on Thursday
from Rohtak (Haryana). Mobile users in Haryana now get the option of
shifting their mobile service provider without changing their mobile
numbers.
There are 8 mobile operators in Haryana: BSNL, Airtel, Etisalat, Idea
Cellular, Loop, Videocon, Aircel and Vodafone. The users will have to pay
the maximum of Rs. 19 to the new operator to change the network. But the
minimal time period with 1 operator for consumer is 3 months. Both postpaid
and prepaid consumers can use Mobile Number Portability.
According to the eligibility standards, there shouldn't be any pending bills
before users can apply for availing of MNP services, the Department of
Telecom (DoT) said.
