Mobile Number Porting

Mobile phone industry is one of the most competitive ones out there. The networks will do whatever it takes to attract a customer even if they have to give out TV or an ipad. Some retailers go as far as offering cash incentives if you go through their channel. In this ever-growing industry the customer is the king and is spoilt for choice. Little wonder when a customer mobile contract comes to an end there are so many tempting deals that one does not feel any loyalty towards their provider. If one does get tempted then the ordeal one has to go through to retain their number is like Mission Impossible 4 but without Hawkeye….!!oops

We at analyse trends have tried to make life a little simpler for people as the exercise to retain your number can be cumbersome coupled with retention techniques deployed by network advisers makes it a nightmare. So many times have we come across a deal on a different network and willing to change only to be made to stay. Fear not Team Analyse is here to save the day and put you on the right path.

MNP or Mobile Number Porting is a process alien to many but we are here to make you aware how easy it actually is. All it requires is a little bit of an effort on our part.

This is how the process starts:

·      First Call your existing network and after getting through to a real person request a PAC (Portability Authorisation Code) code. This code authorises a customer to take their number across to a different network.

·      Secondly Present the PAC code at Point of sale to make sure a request for porting is put through. It only takes two working days for a number to transfer from one network to another.

If for some reason one is not able to obtain PAC code then most networks do allow post sale MNP.

Following is a table, which has all the networks and the process they undertake to complete a port:

Name	MNP	Time	POS or Post sale	Prepay to Post-pay
O2	Yes	48 hrs	Both	Yes
Vodafone	Yes	48 hrs	Both	Yes
Orange	Yes	48 hrs	Both	n/a
T-mobile	Yes	48 hrs	Both	n/a
3	Yes	48 hrs	Both	n/a
Talkmobile	Yes	48 hrs	POS Only	n/a

The information presented is based on the current terms and conditions of the network; these are subject to change as per network requirements.

We at team analyse hope this will help you in understanding as well as undertaking the process.
