![Uninor Offers Cheapest 2G Data Plans [June 2013]](http://telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Uninor-GPRS-packs-70x70.jpg?80e5e9)
45.89 million telecom subscribers have opted for mobile number portability (MNP), the technology that permits user to change operators while retaining their mobile numbers, as on the end of April 2012, a rise from 41.88 million users in March.
Karnataka received the maximum number of requests at 5.11 million, according to data released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).Andhra Pradesh with a 4.44 million users opting for MNP was in the second position, while Gujarat with a 4.23 million requests ranked third.
However, going by the statistics, MNP requests are falling in the country according to TRAI data, MNP were at about 4.7 million in March this year, which fell to 4.01 million in April. So as a reader what do you think, why more and more subscribers are porting out in Karnataka?

I am switching over from vodafone to to aircel in karnataka as vodafone is a loot maar operator.

I see low QoS and unfair billing practices apart from opting a lower tariff from another operator as key reasons why people switch over. I personally used MNP twice for phones within my family, once for better tariff (from Vodafone to Tata Docomo) and once for unfair billing (I would rather say robbing) (from Airtel to Tata Docomo)

What are the detail statistics of Karnataka. I mean which operator added how much in MNP and lost how much.
This would be interesting.

Tata docomo made harm to Tata’s name… Good tariff bt bad cvrge. Most promisimg cmpny at the beginning. Now…? Very sad to say that.

s I also port in to idea from docomo coz of network coverage n quality.
docomo is best in tariff wise but they don’t bother about coverage n quality.
if docomo improved there quality surely I will come back.
but is it possible?

Sorry not just Airtel …. all Pvt operators
Achu June 29, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Ah… Airtel offering freebees for port in… IT IS ILLEGAL AS PER TRAI DIRECTIVE..

Even though MNP is as good as failure in western countries, it is a super HIT in India….

Mainly its because of services & Network quality.
Here Idea is in very aggressive mode, They are calling all old port out customers to join Idea again by offering very low tariffs of I-I 10p/min others 30p/min, Daily 200L+N SMS, 250MB 3G data free, all for next 6 Months.
Uninor is loosing out, may be its adding new customers but loosing out its existing & Loyal base to AIrtel,Voda,Aircel,Idea since people feel it will be out of business in few days
