8. MNP Aspects • There are basically 3 aspects to be taken care of by operators while implementing MNP :- • Commercial – Provisioning of port in and De provisioning of Port Out subscribers. • Call Routing in MNP Scenario. • Charging / Billing of subscribers for their usage. Other aspects like strategies for preventing port out and promoting port IN customers are vital but not in the scope of this session.

9. The salient features of the final guidelines issued by TRAI • MNP facility shall be available only within a given licensed service area. • A subscriber holding a mobile number is eligible to make a porting request only after 90 days of the date of activation of his mobile connection. If a number is already ported once, the number can again be ported only after 90 days from the date of the previous porting • Access Providers are required to implement All Call Query method. • The Originating operator shall be responsible to route the call to correct terminating network. • TRAI(Telecom Regulatory Authority Of India) said that service providers will be able to charge any amount less than or equal to Rs19.

10. How ‘MNP’ is beneficial to customers? • If you are not satisfied with your existing provider,you don’t have to stay just to keep your number for business purpose. • The MNP service would force operators to retain subscribers with various incentives & schemes i.e,lowering down call & sms rates to retain their subscribers. • The service will be available to both prepaid & postpaid users. • With MNP consumers can move in between operators,where they may get a better deal on tarrifs or services with another operator etc..
