Nigeria Begins Mobile Number Portability Today


Nigerians will today begin to enjoy the benefits of porting their mobile phone numbers from one network to another, while still retaining their original numbers.

This will be made possible by today’s launch of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) across the networks of GSM operators.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the industry regulator, fixed the launch of MNP in Lagos today.

NCC in its released guidelines for MNP, made porting free of charge for subscribers, but insisted that subscribers could port their numbers once every 90 days.

In spite of its benefits for subscribers as listed by Ojobo, the implication for subscribers is that no subscriber is allowed to port a number more than once in three months (90 days).

  Mobile number portability is the ability to migrate to another network without changing the digits of your phone number.
