Must be Klang Valley first followed by other states. This kind of slow penetration technique is very common in Malaysia.

i think it is.... in johor, i heard from reseller it'll implement on may or august... still havent confirm...

Looking forward for the implementation of MNP. It's about time they make it more competitive for the telcos.

number still same, just network different

its even better for those VVIP no because now user can choose their network and still have their VVIP no

Network same
Charges same
Only different is You can change network with the same number
Service same

my opinion those vvip num (ab number or behind 4 or 5 digit same)the telco wont let u switch...
lets juz c la haha...

since it'll be implemanted, i think normally can change... no problem.... maybe should sign contract with them for 2 years (commitment to use their vvip number)

Not happy with my current provider .... just want to move my number out to another network provider. Don't want to give business to someone who cannot deliver. That's People Power !

normal 1 can la..
wat i say is like 0166161616
ab numbers
n like 0168566666
those gay numbers...
the telcos wil kacau 1...
their reason " tis is the law of our company"
haha... law law law

haiz....it getting more n more complicated and isue arise since they implement this MNS.... hope they will do some improvement ASAP

Let's see whether "Malaysia Boleh" or not...

All mobile numbers are portable according to MNP. However, there is no news about extra charges to "roam" on MNP.

Think about it, be realistic. Why would a middle-man company provide the service for free ? Telco will not absorb the cost. Hence, end-users like you and me will most likely need to pay, e.g. RM10/mth to maintain the number if we "port" it.

Or maybe extra 1 cent per call/sms ?

Anyone in SG using MNP ? I recall there is extra charge to "port" the number.

not sure what you guys heard bout MNP. But basically here's the whole concept. MNP allows you to port your number currently the number is tied to( exm. 012 - Maxis, 019 - Celcom and 016 - Digi etc), to any other telco service provider that you choose.

So meaning if you are using 0128888000 which is now currently tied to Maxis, you want to change to Digi. In current practice, you cancel your Maxis subscription and register Digi, some even fanatic to get back the same 7 digit, 8888000 of course with 016 prefix instead.

MNP allows you to keep 0128888000 but you can subscribe to Digi services instead.

it means no number will be associated with any telco, so 012 doesn't mean Maxis, and 016 doesn't mean Digi. No matter what VVVVVVIP number you got, you want to change, just pay the RM10 service charge.

Impact: Looks to be calls within own network and other network will be abolished as customers won't know whose number is in which network

Timeline: Supposedly implemented last year December 2007, the big three telco systems wasn't ready for deployment. It was delayed, but ministry has set dateline by 2008 to deploy, else penalty.

they are scaring u . My fren works in MCMC they implement this rule and telco cant protect their numbers. How big is the telco they still need to follow government law

If I find that this number 012-2222222 is not in service now.
Can I bring this number to Celcom to register it for use?

If u own that number and its active yes u can . But if its not in service than sorry u cant.

1 year and 6 months on this thread is alive

is there any concrete news or what to show about the april 1st date ?

None so far ... no news in the press regarding the 1st April implementation. Whatever it is, I hope that they'll proceed with the MNP implementation.

I think it was announced end of last year, the implementation date is around end of 2008.
