Report by Nigeria Communications Week
Mobile number portability (MNP) arrived with pomp and ceremony a fortnight ago; but the growth has been hobbled by undecided Nigerians who already carry multiple mobile devices, Nigeria Communications Week can now report.
Critics said the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) inadvertently took the steam off MNP by introducing the scheme when most Nigerians have already “ported” with their dual Sim phones.
In essence, MNP arrived too late in the day despite the clamor since 2004 when quality of service provisioning begun to deteriorate.
If a subscriber wishes to re-migrate to his original or any other network, such customer has to stay for 90 days on the newly migrated operator before moving again.
This means that any subscriber who experiences poor service quality on the new network, shortly after porting, will have to endure the challenges of the network and complete the 90 days period before porting out.
Over to you my loyal readers, Would you port your number or have you ported already?
