The Department of Telecom has extended the deadline to fully implement the mobile number portability across the country by another two months. The earlier deadline to roll out ‘full MNP’ was May 3.
“The Government has decided to extend the date of implementation of full MNP in the networks by two months,” an official statement said.
Telecom industry body COAI had sought extension for implementing nationwide MNP as telecom operators have to make some technical changes to their networks due to changes in national numbering plan and this could take about eight weeks.
