Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam urged mobile network operators to further simplify procedures for mobile number portability (MNP) services to create convenience for users to switch networks.
Thee major telecom network providers - Viettel, VinaPhone and MobiFone - started testing mobile number portability (MNP) on September 21, which allows subscribers to keep existing mobile number when switching networks.
The MobiFone Telecommunications Corporation has asked the Ministry of Information and Communications to have 4 million additional numbers with the prefixes "086", "087", "088" and "089".
Vietnamese mobile subscribers will be able to keep their existing
numbers when switching to a different mobile service provider as of
2017, a telecommunications official has said.
