Malaysia’s Mobile Number Portibility (MNP) Project
Mobile Number Portibility or known as MNP is suppose to be launched tomorrow 1st August 2008, but then there is no news on it yet as if its ready, but as we can see now that currently most of the Mobile Network Providers are providing great deals on their packages.
What’s Mobile Number Portibility (MNP) Project all about?
Its ability to keep your current number when you switch network. For example, if you are having a Maxis (012) number you can change your network provider to Digi (016) and remain your 012 number.
By the time MNP implementation is glitches-free, I am going to port my current number from Maxis to Digi as Maxis kept sending out advertisement, be it SMS or MMS, every 3-4 hours. Moreover, Digi is offering the lowest call rate among three network operators and probably with the switch, I am looking at a saving of at least RM50-RM100 on my monthly bills. Moreover, the free Digi-to-Digi is going to help me save even more as more and more friends are Digi users or have made the switch.
The only reason that stopped me before this, was the 7 years old 012 number that I have been using. Too many contacts under that number and to change my network operator before that was equivalent to losing all my business contacts.
I do have that same issue with Maxis. I wonder does Digi send out ads also…
Hopefully I won’t have to find out about it AFTER porting over. Hehe. But I doubt lah. They are just too awesome to do such trick. LOL.
I will follow you…
