Mobile Number Portability

On cancellation of licenses, the subscribers can exercise choice to shift to other Telecom Operators under MNP Scheme or otherwise.

In order to facilitate the porting of the mobile number of subscribers of licensees whose licences have been quashed by Hon’ble Supreme Court, TRAI has issued “Telecommunication Mobile Number Portability (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2012 (16 of 2012) dated 8th June 2012. 

This amendment has been challenged by M/s Sistema Shyam Teleservices Limited and M/s Unitech in the TDSAT. The Hon’ble TDSAT, in its interim order dated 20th July, 2012 has ordered TRAI to restrain from giving effect to and /or further effect to the Regulations. 

This was stated by Shri Milind Deora, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in response to a written question in Lok Sabha today.
