Mobile Number Portability in August

If you have a Mobile Number with an XYZ operator and want to switch to ABC operator without changing your number, MNP (Mobile Number Portability) is the answer. Now, say my mobile number is from Airtel and I want to take a better offer from Hutch. But when I switch to HUTCH, I need to take a new number from HUTCH and I need to change my old good number which is known to all my friends and relatives! With MNP in place you have the freedom to switch to operators without changing your number.

As Govt. has announced that they will launch MNP in major cities in India by August-09 and slowly to all circles of India by end of this year, we have something to Joy! Now, Operators are bound to be more customer centric as their customer can easily shift their number to other operator.

For example, I am planning to shift my Mobile Number from Airtel to HUTCH to set my caller Tune to "Maa-from Tare Zaamin Paar" as it is not available in Airtel. It sounds funny! But you can try all your options to get better services while MNP knocks your door. Till then Keep Enjoying...

Cool man, this will really solve many probs..
But i think there must be some mutual settlement between different providers coz the series are basically different from provider to provider, and if you need to use number of one provider to another then the other one should accept different series tht do not exist in their system... let see how works...sounds great!!!
