What is number porting? Why would I need to do it?
Mobile number porting is the process of transferring your existing phone number from one mobile service provider to another. Essentially, it allows you to keep your phone number even if you decide to switch carriers.
Why would you need to port your number?
There are a few reasons why you might want to port a mobile number:
Better deals: A different carrier might offer a more attractive plan with better coverage, more data, or lower costs.
Dissatisfaction with current provider: You might be experiencing poor customer service, unreliable network coverage, or hidden fees with your current provider.
Moving to a new location: Your current provider might not offer good coverage in your new area.
In essence, number porting gives you the flexibility to change carriers without the hassle of getting a new phone number and informing all your contacts.
