few days ago i was discussing about all those offers released by those gsm cell service providers, for prepaid customers, less than 1 paisa per sec, free so much etc, then we were wondering how these companies manage the be profitable? then concluded on a lighter side – i said from post paid customers, believe me, we post paid customers never get much offers, high usage bills, charge for everything, useless free stuff(e.g.: everyday 5000 sms) you will know what i am talking about, if you live in India and a post paid customer at some point of time.

salivating prepaid customer offers, hefty post paid bills, bad signal strength i receive from my provider etc, i want to try different provider and offer, but the biggest problem will be to convey my new number to friends, relatives, banks, office, business, websites, etc… list was huge. so i decided not to change my provider.

then i heard about number portability coming to India, which suppose to be launched by December 2009, but you know as many Indian telecom delay saga, it has been postponed to April 2010.

survey by AC Nielsen revealed :

post-paid subscribers and business subscribers show a greater tendency to switch if Mobile Number Portability is introduced.

I’m one among them, i am watching this number portability issue very closely and desperately.
