Five years ago, the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) launched an initiative in the form of a Mobile Network Portability (MNP) that allowed subscribers to migrate from one network to another - only if they needed better service and still maintain thesame numbers.
However, this initiative had little success, as NCC statistics show that only 62,709 subscribers have been transferred to other networks since January to May this year. Statistics also show that 33,772 subscribers left their network, while 33,437 migrated to other new networks in the same five-month period.
- MTN gained more subscribers and at the same time, they also lost more with 12,965 subscribers coming in and 6,614 going out;
- Globacom got 3,283 and lost 9,453 users;
- 9Mobile got 8,984 and lost 9,526;
- Airtel got 8,205 subscribers and lost 8,259.
Many Nigeria want to completely empty their old SIM card instead of transferring them to a new network; and that is why this initiative has not flourished all these years.
So what is your experience with the porting?
