BREAKING NEWS: NCC To Launch Mobile Phone Number Portability On March 26, 2013
Nigeria Telecommunications Commission Headquarters, Abuja FCT
Director of Public Affairs of the commission, Tony Ojobo made this disclosure during Channels Television’s flagship programme, Sunrise Daily, today.
“There will be a launch by the end of this month, we are going to flag it off”
“So we are looking at the 26th of March or there about.”
Ojobo said the MNP will enable a consumer move from his service provider to another without losing the number he already uses despite the change in the SIM card of the consumer.
The service however will not be available to consumers who haven’t registered their SIM cards.
He further said service providers who try to woo consumers that have submitted request forms to another service provider will be dealt with by the commission.
The ability to choose or fire your GSM service provider is one whose time has come in Nigeria, and will only
deepen competition among operators and improve service quality, so i think its a good one.
