  • The government today said it will introduce mobile number portability across the country by March 31, 2010 -- a three-month delay from the scheduled date of launch.


    "The government has now decided to implement it in whole of the country in one go, by March 31, 2010," the ministry of communications and information technology said in a statement today.


    The MNP facility was to be introduced in the metros and Category A telecom circles from today, and in other areas by March 20, 2010.


    Mobile number portability (MNP) allows a user to retain his/her number even after the switching the operator.
