Wireless Number Portability

Wireless Number Portability (WNP) allows mobile phone users to keep their existing phone number when switching to a different carrier or service provider. This process is designed to make changing providers easier without the hassle of updating contacts or re-establishing new numbers. WNP involves a coordinated process between the old and new carriers to transfer your number smoothly, usually within a few hours to a couple of days. This capability encourages competition by providing consumers the freedom to choose the best service while maintaining continuity in their communication.
