MNP stands for Mobile Number Portability it is basically the process to switch your current mobile number to another network service provider without having to buy a new number. It allows you to keep the same number even after changing the number’s service provider.
Many people have not yet benefitted from the MNP services as they feel it would be a challenging task. However, the MNP process is very easy and simple. The customer can simply send text message that says PORT from their phone to 1900. The existing provider will send the customer a unique porting code which the customer will share with their new carrier.
The new carrier uses the porting code to ensure customer’s old account is paid in full. It takes almost 7 days for the porting to take place. Once the porting is complete, the new provider will send a text message confirming the switch.
