Its a very new term for Indians. So let me tell you about the latest in the telecom industry.
Mobile number portability means changing your service provider with out changing out number.For eg: If you don't like airtel service then you can shift to vodafone or aircel or any other service provider.
You then have to submit your identity proof, address proof, and photograph with the code to the service provider you want, by the date given to you.
In the next seven days(15 days in North-East and J&K), the master clearing house will check if you have any outstanding dues and then process your request. Your new service will then start on your old number.
Restrictions include a minimum stay of three months and the subscriber can't change the circle. Portability began in November 2010 in Haryana.
