Telcos get time till November 11 to implement revamped MNP norms

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Friday extended till November 11 the deadline for implementation of new mobile number portability (MNP) rules for users wanting to switch to new operator without changing mobile number. 

The revamped MNP will make the process faster and simpler, and Trai has cut migration process time within a service area to just two days from seven. MNP allows a mobile subscriber to port the same phone number anywhere in the country.

The regulator had issued MNP regulations in December, and the revised process was scheduled to come into force from September 30, which
