Currently singapore is using this system. Good system i gotta say. You cant diff singtel m1 or star hub user by looking at the number. They all looks the same. Only the user who use it know what line they are on.

I read this news 2 weeks ago on MCMC announcement and it will be implement by Dec 2007.
QUOTE KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is confident that mobile number portability (MNP) will be available to cellphone users in the country by December next year. to read the AnnouncementHowever, several handphone users in a straw poll by In.Tech said they aren holding their breath for the service to see the light of day. MNP was proposed by the Government in 2004 and scheduled to be in use by last year. However, the implementation was delayed, and it was decided that more research needed to be conducted. MCMC started the research in September last year. |

Don't think it'll be within next year. My speculation will be 2009.

think of it such... if u are a digi user of number 016-3111111, then u use MNP to go to maxis, u still use 016-3111111
australia used the same system as us 04x with x different for the telcos.. when MNP was introduced, the hp prefix juz became 04- and the x digit became more like a part of the phone number |

well, the telcos will have problem if they charge call to other network at different charges and they differentiate between network using 01x prefix
sure when MNP introduced, 012 doesn't mean maxis and so on. i think many of us will jump between network when it is introduced as some of us stay with the network because of the number. |

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. This post has been edited by dreamthief: Mar 25 2008, 09:53 PM |

Singapore to enjoy full mobile number portability from 13 June 2008
QUOTE Singapore to enjoy full mobile number portability from 13 June Posted: 16 April 2008 1122 hrs SINGAPORE: Come 13 June, cellphone subscribers in Singapore will enjoy full mobile number portability. The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) says the new solution will replace the current one where a mobile subscriber holds two numbers so that calls to his old number are call-forwarded to a new one. Singapore mobile subscribers were one of the first in the world to enjoy mobile number portability through this call-forwarding solution when it was launched here in 1997. When implemented from 13 June, full mobile number portability will allow anyone who wishes to keep their current number when they switch mobile operator, to do so by the next working day. This spares them the hassle of updating their family, friends and business contacts about a new number. The long-awaited move is expected to intensify competition amongst telcos which will now have to compete aggressively not just to win market share but to retain existing customers. Singapore's mobile subscription stands at more than 5.8 million. - CNA/ir |

Maxis is ready. DiGi and Celcom are pushing for extension in the timeline. Most probably going to be in April 2009.

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Apr 15 2008, 08:02 AM) "digit, 8888000 of course with 016 prefix instead." Dont give misleading information. You dunno nvm u create a wrong story to confuse ppl further. If you are using 012 3456789 if u u switch to DIGI your num will still be 012 3456789 but ure with DIGI NOW number STAYS U crazy if u have 012 3456789 switch to digi become 016 3456789 then the previous owner of 016 3456789 how? They cancel the other user number because u want MNP? Added on April 15, 2008, 8:03 am correct QUOTE 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. i said CURRENT practice, you cancel, then that's about it unless you fanatical enough to get back the last 7 digits but different prefix. MNP allows you to do so. I was doing a comparison since so many ppl still dont get what is MNP. This post has been edited by dreamthief: May 1 2008, 11:28 PM |

hey guys....
sad news. i try to summarise it. this is the articles published in the The Edge page 14. MNP likely to miss August deadline. it mention that One party has indicated some difficulties in their migration to the new system. btw, Talian Gerak Alih Sdn Bhd is the clearing-house for the implementation of MNP. "There is also talk in the market that one particular operator is 'dragging its feet" on getting itself ready for MNP for fear of competition" quoted from one of the paragraph. Maxis CEO Jon Eddy Abdullah in the statement state:"Maxis will be ready as directed by the MCMC. Digi.Com spokesperson says they are ready to migrate its networks to the MNP platform by August. Celcom CEO Datuk Seri Mohammed Shazalli Ramly says the company is doing all it can to introduce the service. "We are in full support of MNP and are making sure all systems are in place (for the MNP service launch), including for all MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) partners that have been appointed and are soon to be announced," say Shazalli. However, he did not confirm if Celcom would be ready by end-August. lastly, sources say MCMC is determined to have its targeted nationwide MNP rollout by year-end, if not by end of next month. ps: i cant find the article online, so for details, go flip The Edge this week, page 14. |

If Celcom can't make the deadline, shouldn't they have to pay a fine to the regulator? It's time to put some teeth into MCMC.
I have no plans to change operators (I like Digi, they've always been good to me) but I am looking forward to portability because I know it will mean better offers and lower prices. |

if i remembered correctly, they annouced this MNP since 2006 and claiming to launch in 4Q 2006. later, it was announced again where they delayed it to 4Q 2007. and now 2008, where is it? i think maybe kena too much protest from 019 and 012? price wise, they can't compete with 016. |

MNP may be launched nationwide in October
PETALING JAYA: Mobile phone users in the Klang Valley may be able to get a taste of mobile number portability (MNP) by September, but the rest of the country will have to wait till end-October. The original deadline for the implementation of the MNP is mid-August but Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) wants to wait to make sure all systems are integrated to avoid any technical glitches when MNP is implemented. “The MCMC wants to ensure that it can monitor and manage a small area before implementing MNP nationwide. It will be easier to manage a smaller area although the concentration of mobile users is the highest in the Klang Valley,†said an industry source. MNP allows mobile users to switch networks while retaining their numbers. The Government first got public and industry feedback on the need to implement MNP in 2004. MNP was initially scheduled to be implemented in 2006. There is no denying that certain players were not ready until recently for fear of losing subscribers in a MNP environment. They also took a while to cooperate because the implementation was complex, said the source. Yet the issues, from porting charges (said to be between RM20 and RM25) to the validation time (anything from six hours to one week), need to be ironed out. In addition, the mobile user needs to be educated on the advantages of MNP so that MNP is a success in this country. The greatest fear of operators is the loss of subscribers and analysts have repeatedly said DiGi.Com Bhd will be the sure winner in an MNP environment. Only time will determine that. MNP may be good and it has been recognised by regulators as a key facilitator for competition. But the question is, with all the monies spent to implement MNP, who would get the lion’s share? Is it the consumer, the operators or the clearing house, Talian Gerak Alih Sdn Bhd, which is a third-party operator? Singapore was the first country to implement number portability in 1997 but it was a huge failure as it adopted a two-number system. MNP was re-launched in Singapore recently. In comparison, it has been a huge success in Hong Kong in 1999 and Australia in 2001. It was reported that in the US about 7.8 million mobile subscribers ported their numbers in the first 12 months of MNP’s introduction there. In Hong Kong 60% of subscribers changed operator and that led to an average price reduction of 60%. The reason for MNP’s success in Australia was because it is a “quick, seamless and low-cost experience.†URL: http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...80&sec=business |

Yeah...finally the minister announced that this will be implemented in September for Klang Valley, then move on to the whole country by October. Just wondering, why can’t they just implement it for the whole country? Why need to do it in stages....
So, we still need to pay Rm25 for switching operator....anyone knows others countries like S'pore also charging this fee? |

I do not know the number, but I belived Klang Valley have the very high number of mobile phone users (might be highest in the country). If they scare of problem, they should be select places like Kuantan, then problem will be minimize...instead of Klang Valley...just my 2 cents of opinion... ... |

This MNP have been talking for the longest time and i think we all know why is the delay. I really don't understand what technical problem is there??? other country have implement and if the Telco can sort out the technical issue after years of delay, i don't think they deserve to exist at all...!!!
if there is a monthly charge for switching operator (which i think will definitely be the case) i think our own MNP implementation defeat the purpose but then again... hey in this country, we have our own way of competition. i am looking forward to more benefit for being loyal... right now i stay too long wif an operator i am rewarded with spam sms...!!! things like free/cheap phone upgarde with renew contract. |

QUOTE(Lng @ Aug 12 2008, 04:47 PM) Why would you want to have fixed line portability? Any logic I want to do my own call routing. When I lived in USA for a while, I had two numbers that all my contacts knew: one for HP and one for fixed line. When I left, I ported them both to a VoIP provider and now have them ringing on my Digi line (depending on caller identification and time of day). Also, having full portability presupposes that calls to all numbers (fixed and mobile) are terminated at the same cost. Reducing mobile termination charges in Malaysia would improve competition. |

There will ALWAYS be technical issues since different telco will bring in different set of equipment and/or from different company (E///,Nokia, Alcatel,etc). Main arguement between telcos will be how their different sets of equipment will work with each other telcos set of equipment & in the same time DO NOT WANT to work together to help each other.if there is a monthly charge for switching operator (which i think will definitely be the case) i think our own MNP implementation defeat the purpose but then again... hey in this country, we have our own way of competition. i am looking forward to more benefit for being loyal... right now i stay too long wif an operator i am rewarded with spam sms...!!! things like free/cheap phone upgarde with renew contract. 2. I think there is a company appointed by MCMC to handle this MNP project & to do consultation with the telcos and they don't even have experience in telecommunication, let alone MNP. Own by politician (maybe, if not how the hell can they this project) with the objective of gaining profit out of nothing, thus delaying this project because of lack of experience & different set of target/objective (getting more money instead of finish the project ASAP) |

QUOTE(rajulkabir @ Aug 13 2008, 01:50 PM) I want to do my own call routing. When I lived in USA for a while, I had two numbers that all my contacts knew: one for HP and one for fixed line. When I left, I ported them both to a VoIP provider and now have them ringing on my Digi line (depending on caller identification and time of day). nice setup you have going Also, having full portability presupposes that calls to all numbers (fixed and mobile) are terminated at the same cost. Reducing mobile termination charges in Malaysia would improve competition. |

Probably you just have to ask your friend.When I visit the USA, I use a prepaid SIM from AT&T. Part of the deal is unlimited free calls to all other AT&T customers. But I never know until after I talk to someone if they were on AT&T - if I see that the last call cost was $0.00, they were. Otherwise not; no way to tell from the number, and no other indication given either. |

18-08-2008: Mobile numbers to be in 11 digits
Email us your feedback at fd@bizedge.com KUALA LUMPUR: Mobile phone users may soon find themselves having to deal with an additional digit at the end of their numbers after the implementation of mobile number portability (MNP), which is slated for implementation later this year. According to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the new 3+8 structure will only take effect after the implementation of MNP, which allows mobile phone users to retain their phone number when they switch providers. A notice on the impending change of the number structure was issued in April. Through an amendment to the Numbering and Electronic Addressing Plan which came into effect in April, the existing 3+7 structure of mobile phone numbers for cellular services such as those offered by Celcom, DiGi and Maxis will be expanded to 3+8. The plan and its amendment fall under the jurisdiction of the MCMC. http://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.js...294000-8b6c9445 |

More competition among the telcos, expect more advertisement wars and better pricing structure. I'm been with Maxis since 5 years ago, time to change perhaps? Hopefully this will reduce the amount of spam and scam sms-es too. Imagine one telco couldn't stop people from stealing your credits, while the other have no such thing. Everyone will start ship jumping. The thing is I'm afraid there might be a fee for it, an expensive one.

Last time I read, if you convert to Hotlink to postpaid, they give you rebate like 20myr monthly, so let say, you choose VP50, like 30myr reload, of course, you may opt to pay for Activ10 like service VAS too, and must stay for 6 months in postpaid, quite brilliant plan, after that, you don't like, pay processing fee, convert to Hotlink,

I'd expect a billing nightmare.
I mean, if your 012 pal suddenly switch to digi, for sure you're gonna kena charged extra without you knowing about it. Also, this sort of stuff can also open up a lot of dirty tricks by telcos? I mean, here and there they can give you hidden charges. But i guess digi users will be luckier lor. Calls to all telcos are same rate. |

If the other telco don't release that number, how can Maxis port it over? When I call that number, which telco will be connecting my call? |

Mobile number portability to start Friday
QUOTE Thursday August 28, 2008 MYT 12:02:18 PM Mobile number portability to start Friday PUTRAJAYA: Mobile phone users can now enjoy the freedom of switching network service providers without having to forego their original phone number. Effective Friday, the service will be extended to users with prepaid mobile phone numbers in the Klang Valley. Postpaid users can start enjoying the facility in two weeks. In a statement, Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said the service, known as Mobile Number Portability (MNP), would take away the inconvenience associated with switching service providers and consumers' concern over losing their contacts when doing so. "Service providers are allowed to charge up to RM25 each time a subscriber changes their mobile phone service provider. This will give the users choice and freedom to choose their service providers without the inconvenience of having to change their numbers. "The nationwide launch for the MNP will be in October," Shaziman said. Shaziman said the MNP is about improved service quality, better packages, better customer service and giving consumers choice. He added that initially only individual account holders would be able to change their service providers while business accounts could do so after the nationwide launch. He said that until the nationwide launch, each service provider would only be able to accept 100 requests per day, adding that prepaid users are advised to finish their credit balance before changing the service provider as any remaining credit would not be refunded. "Mobile phone users are advised not to rush into porting but should first study the various packages being offered before choosing the new service provider of their choice," he said. Mobile phone users can refer to the frequently-asked-questions on MNP at the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission website at www.skmm.gov.my and all of the mobile operator's websites to find out more about the service. |

QUOTE 23. After porting, will I enjoy the same services from the new mobile service provider? • No, you can only port your number and not value-added services. • You must re-register for all the value-added services that you want to subscribe to with the new service provider. You need to know that the new service provider is not obligated to provide identical value-added services. FAQ from the SKMM site. As I understand that the numbers including the prefix will still be the same, what are the services meant in the 23rd question in the FAQ. Does it mean sms adverts will be still from the original network provider or internet rates or whatever? Can someone shed some light on this. Thanks. |

DiGi MNP - http://www.digi.com.my/whatshot/promotions/mnp/index.do
Wah finally but many things to do aiyak~ QUOTE 6. How do I port to a new service provider? • You will have to go to the new mobile service provider's Service Centre or Authorised Dealer to request for number porting.* • Fill in a Service Registration Form and pay the porting fees for processing. You will be issued with a new SIM card. • Upon approval, the new mobile service provider will inform you that you have successfully ported when the new SIM card is activated. * Please note that your request to port will act as a notice to your current service provider to terminate your subscription. 7. How long does it take to port to a new provider? The porting process will not take more than 5 business days for individual porting whereas for business porting, it will not take more than 10 business days. 20. Do I get a new SIM card when I change my mobile service provider? Yes, you will be given a new SIM card by the new mobile service provider. |

finally... <- not that i will change. i m happy with DiGi now.
The RM25 fee is kinda high (RM10 is more reasonable) but for a one time fee to retain my number, i think its a price to pay. Hopefully the telco will do something to absorb the RM25 fee. After all you are bringing new business to them. I can understand they wanna start with pre-paid first. probably to implement in stages but why limit to only 100 users a day??? Stupid rule. |

MNP takes up to 5 days to process....wonder how long does it ACTUALLY take. And during that period of time, are we still able to use the old simcard with line still active or we will be out of reach during that time.

be prepared forthe initial hiccups..
maybe i should adopt the wait and see approach in this sense.. u won't know how glitches in the system can cause.. but once it stabilizes, will definately change my service provider.. probably the reason they limit it to only 100 users / day is due to shortage of knowledgable manpower to process the change.. just my thought.. |

yea... there will be some teething issue during initial implementation. In time i expect the max 100 users rules to go. the processing period reduce to overnight and no more RM25 fee.
When competition start and the telco feel the bite, they will start to work harder to gain/retain their users and we will get the best value. i am also looking forward to offer like free handset or subsidies handset from telco to tie user to contract. |

QUOTE(lkylyk @ Aug 28 2008, 11:37 AM) free for others porting to Maxis or free to leave Maxis?? FREE for others to port to maxis. others, i still dunno anyway common sense would be free for other telcos users to Maxis... QUOTE(cucubud @ Aug 28 2008, 12:59 PM) When they mention service provider are charged rm25. it depends that if the service provider will charge you or not. for maxis, others port to them is FREE"Service providers are allowed to charge up to RM25 each time a subscriber changes their mobile phone service provider. This will give the users choice and freedom to choose their service providers without the inconvenience of having to change their numbers." If I start from Celcom port to Maxis. Don't like Maxis then port to Digi. Don't like Digi then port back to Celcom. Can or not? QUOTE(beatlesalbum @ Aug 28 2008, 01:01 PM) Then you will have to pay rm 25 everytime you port depending on operator. service provider are charged rm25. it depends that if the service provider will charge you or not. for maxis, others port to them is FREEQUOTE(lynxs @ Aug 28 2008, 01:57 PM) i think it says prepaid users in the Klang Valley are gonna be able to use this service first. Postpaid in 2 weeks time yeaQUOTE(mitodna @ Aug 28 2008, 02:17 PM) See which telco can hit 100 max. Cap, request, hehe, but must finish credit first you can use talktime transfer to transfer your credit to others number first. QUOTE(demio121 @ Aug 29 2008, 09:39 AM) finally... <- not that i will change. i m happy with DiGi now. service provider are charged rm25. it depends that if the service provider will charge you or not. for maxis, others port to them is FREEThe RM25 fee is kinda high (RM10 is more reasonable) but for a one time fee to retain my number, i think its a price to pay. Hopefully the telco will do something to absorb the RM25 fee. After all you are bringing new business to them. I can understand they wanna start with pre-paid first. probably to implement in stages but why limit to only 100 users a day??? Stupid rule. QUOTE(yupio @ Aug 29 2008, 10:07 AM) MNP takes up to 5 days to process....wonder how long does it ACTUALLY take. And during that period of time, are we still able to use the old simcard with line still active or we will be out of reach during that time. it takes maximum 2 working day only from wat i know from maxis. |

I'm quite surprised of this MNP procedure is quite different. It would be rather more competitive to request PAC code from your current provider since they can offer you better deal like retention price plans.
This method is more simplified because you can go directly and change without having to wait on the phone to get the PAC code number. However, some people may just blindly give the RM25 because they don't know if they are still under contract. This post has been edited by xplora: Aug 29 2008, 11:31 AM |

so I guess in the next few months, we will see tougher competition among telcos....hopefully the rates and rentals will go down further n even some freebies for staying put or switching...

There is no impact to get the new prepaid startup pack after October.
They owner of the prepaid can decide which service provider they want after they bought the startup pack. No need to worry for that This post has been edited by myahsam: Aug 29 2008, 05:39 PM |

QUOTE(kupang @ Aug 29 2008, 05:26 PM) i wonder how a new prepaid startup pack will be sold come October, I doubt it. In other places where number portability has come into effect, the individual carriers are still allocated blocks of numbers by the numbering plan authority (or cooperative industry body). So numbers that have not been ported yet still fall into the ranges that "belong" to the issuing carrier.when MNP is implemented nationwide do we get to choose which prefix to use.. |

I guess for prepaid, the individual telco will still sell their package. Only after registering for one of the telco and later switch, me thinks!!
I don't think its possible for one to buy a prepaid and immediately choose telco rite!! Its not that their package and rates gonna be the same... |

I am not sure, user are advised to check with existing telco for deposit arrangement, different telco different policy and TnC. If you are really referring to deposit, then it is referring to postpaid, better check with your existing telco first, prepare for 15th September 2008 |

He should go straight to Digi and they will initiate the process.My dear father is using Celcom prepaid, and all the while I'm the one who has been reloading it for him. He exhausts his credit very quickly and keeps reloading, doesnt have any extras, etc. I would want to port his number over to Digi. The question is: If he wants to port over to Digi, does he need to go over to Celcom to cancel the line first, or go straight to Digi? |

With MNP, how do the telcos track the expired prepaid numbers?
Let's just say I have a Hotlink prepaid number 012-0000000. If this number is expired, Maxis will resell this number after 6 months. If I MNP this number to Digi and this number is expired. Can Maxis recover this number after 6 months? How do they know? It is not in their database anymore. Does it means that this number belongs to Digi now and Digi can resell it after 6 months? |

They have a clearinghouse database, which stores all the numbers that have been ported to other telco. They probably have their own database of numbers in use and numbers ported.

Anyone here has converted to Celcom? The earlier posted mentioned most operators did not collect the porting fees but no mention about Celcom.
Can anyone confirm this ? |

aiyoyo.....my application to port from maxis to digi was rejected. Reason=new ic number does not match, after i found out, i called maxis helpline to check and my ic no. was indeed correct as per my ic then i called digi again and ask whether they key in my ic no. correctly and it was key in correctly.
nowaday wrong ic number is the common reason for maxis and celcom to abort the porting application by user, so today went to digi in taipan to port again my maxis number to digi, while talking and complaining to the digi cs about the wrong ic thingy, she said this is common, then she told me she tried to port celcom to digi, this case failed 5 times, i just remember 2 reason which is wrong ic number and the next reason really shock me "number is still in contract"-since when prepaid got contract lah CELCOM???????? if celcom use that reason for postpaid oklah........ MAXIS & CELCOM SO KAISU wan meh? i think too many maxis & celcom user ported to DIGI lah.........maxis and celcom comes out with this ridiculious reason to reject porting application. To maxis & celcom, why do your customer still port to digi even though digi do not have 3G and you have better coverage than DIGI?????? |

Were at Midvalley on Tuesday and ported from Celcom to Digi.
Just they just photostated my IC and give me the Digi new simpack and it was done less than 5mins Did it around 12 to 1 pm. By 5pm+ Celcom sim card already became inactive before I could transfer the remaining Celcom credit to someone else Slot in Digi simcard and call Digi support line to activate the line and the automatic voice system was speaking in Mandarin...what the.....  Going to *128# was also in Mandarin characters.... Have to give the support line couple of calls on another phone line to get it fixed... Other than that, so far so good.

This might be a good thing for all but the problem now is you might get unexpected extra charges.
Let's say you are sending a SMS to 016-xxxxxxx from Digi, you might not know that number belongs to which operator and thus you might get charged 15 cents (other operators) instead of 7 cents (Digi network) |

to counter the extra charges..
get those plans who gives standard rates for all numbers regardless of operators. but mostly these types of plans only applicable for postpaid. |

QUOTE(64bit @ Sep 12 2008, 11:41 AM) This might be a good thing for all but the problem now is you might get unexpected extra charges. i believe soon all telcos will have flat rate to all other telcos =PLet's say you are sending a SMS to 016-xxxxxxx from Digi, you might not know that number belongs to which operator and thus you might get charged 15 cents (other operators) instead of 7 cents (Digi network) |

Wait, telcos got dirty tricks to prevent porting???
And actually, how to prevent unscrupulous telcos from extra charging us ler? I mean, since we'll never know whether the person we're calling's on digi, maxis or celcom. Easy for telcos to add a few cents here and there also right? Sorry ler, the sms scamming stuff still fresh on my mind. This post has been edited by SweetPuff: Sep 15 2008, 10:55 AM |

The official lead processing time as stated by the MCMC is 5 working days. So I think it is all purely luck at this stage bear in mind that only 100 applications get processed every day and the line that gets ported over has no problems. anyway...that would be better... |

MNP means your whole number remains the same but you're with a diff telco...So if you switch to digi, your number will still be 017-283xxxx and the other fellow number will still be 012-283xxxx...Only thing is now you pay your bill to digi and not maxis

I forsee Maxis losing a lot of customers soon and they cannot do anything about it. Even the free gift & promos are useless because everyone wants better service and they are at the bottom of the list when it comes to service.

Both prepaid and post numbers are portable as well.
However, you will lose whatever / all credit balance from the previous telco once you port your number over to the new telco. Hence, do plan wisely on the date of when you want to port your number over. After successfully porting, the first thing you need to do is to reload or top up airtime. As for postpaid, you need to settle or clear off any unsettled amount or overdue bills with your previous telco before porting your number to the new telco. The porting won't be successful and would be rejected if there is any overdue bills. Also, you might want to check whether you are bounded by any contract before porting. If there's no problem, there shouldn't be any problem porting your post paid number. Are you porting your number to Digi also? Am not surprise if you ask me since they are offering the lowest rate these days, with loads of freebies and rewards from time to time. This post has been edited by jasonlioh: Sep 21 2008, 01:31 PM |
