Switching Mobile Operators

Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is now part of our identity and using it identifies you to access many online services that provides a higher level of security during access.This allows you to purchase our pre-paid mobile numbers to be switched to a post-paid line or ported over to another operator. 

Generally you can only port from prepaid to prepaid or postpaid to postpaid accounts. Do note that generally there is a fee imposed for the purchase of a new sim card, but watch out for special deals and port right over to your favoured operator now!

Since April 2000, The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) has fully liberalised the telco market to allow users of fixed-line services to retain their numbers when switching mobile service operators (technical term “porting”)

As mobile phone technology improves and becomes cheaper, and with increased competition among the mobile phone operators, the result is cheaper mobile phone tariffs, added extra benefits and more mobile phone provider retention offers. If you want to move from one mobile phone network provider to another mobile phone network provider you will be able to keep your mobile phone number only if you follow the mobile number portability (MNP) process.

How to go for a hassle-free number porting?

Are you running a call center? And worried about how to go for a hassle-free number porting process? Well, you have got the right solution! Because your phone number is part of your identity that represents your business. And in that case number portability is the vital choice to avoid confusing or losing customers, clients, and employees. Apart from that to avoid unnecessary expenses such as having brochures, printing new business cards, and other marketing materials that contain your existing telephone number, number portability helps a lot. However, most VoIP services let customers easily port their current number for free or for a one-time setup fee as long. Isn’t it cool? As people are badly into their mobile networks, it's very much important to have a good network. Well, in that case, you can easily change your business phone service provider network from one to another.  What Exactly Is Number Porting? To continue using their existing phone number and the process of allowing the customer after they switch providers is known as Porting a phone number. And the best part is there is no downtime while switching and the time taken to switch is seven to ten days to port a number.   Below are few tips to help you make the number porting process quick and hassle-free: - Do not immediately cancel your current service: Always remember that until your phone number has been successfully transferred to another carrier you do not cancel your current phone service which is very important. However, if you cancel your service before the process gets completed then it may result in losing your number, which you may no longer retrieve. And to terminate your service and transfer your number to another provider the best thing to do is to inform your current service provider of your intent. As you need to go through the porting process, do not cut ties just yet. And to pay per your current contract also be wary of early termination fees and other related charges you might be obligated to.  Contact your new provider to begin the process:   Just check with them immediately about the guidelines and requirements for number transfer once you have decided on a new provider for which they will need a Letter of Authorization from you. However, to act on your behalf and request your number from your current provider an LOA gives your new provider the permission. And to fill out information such as current service provider, business phone numbers, company name, address, and other relevant information is also being required. Apart from that, a copy of your current phone bill is also being required by your new provider. When the information you provide on your request doesn’t match the record your provider has to bear in mind that number transfer delays may occur just because of the correct information.  Wait for the porting process to complete:  However, it will be moved to firm order commitment status after your request has been submitted. If your request has been approved or rejected then this will be the right stage where you will learn. However, due to problems or errors such as a mismatch in the information provided,, the rate center is not complete, the number is no longer in service, etc requests are typically denied. Note: Among all those processes, the most important thing is that it may take a week or even a month to complete so it really requires a degree of patience. With the average porting period taking around 7 days, number porting is not immediate.  Plan for the transition:  As the process takes time, and they cannot afford to be disconnected even for a day so some businesses would rather not risk porting their numbers to a new provider. But with a VoIP service, you do not have to be concerned about missing calls which is really a great thing. However, a temporary virtual phone number is being given by most VoIP provider users. And to direct all incoming calls from the number being ported to your temporary number which means you can activate the call forwarding feature. To stay connected and conduct business as usual with almost no downtime You can also make use of mobile VoIP apps as well.  Why One Should Port a Phone Number? Usually, many people keep the same number for years when it comes to running a business. And that is because with your existing number most of the existing customers have already built their trust base who are quite familiar and it might create confusion suddenly when you choose to change. And if the number is part of your marketing material then it will be really a time-consuming and costly process. Moreover, when two same numbers appear among which one is no longer operational sometimes creates a lot of confusion which ultimately leads to missed calls and business loss. Well, in that case, a phone number is really an important element just to maintain a consistent brand image and high level of customer service.  Apart from that number porting allows the customers to use a service provider for sure to meet the business need along with the budget requirements. However, among the provider's and the consumer's choices it always supports fair competition. And your potential customers who are quite familiar with it are free to switch to a new provider without losing the business number which offers a more affordable service while considering any business change.  However, it is extremely vital that they retain critical contact information such as their phone number for businesses. And undoubtedly these tips will definitely help you breeze through the process of porting your existing phone number without a hitch. Apart from that it also helps a partner that has experience in number porting with a VoIP business phone provider.  Being the pioneer in this industry, VoIPTech Solutions ensures a dynamic way of checking the Number Portability.
