Number Portabiliy and Dual SIM phones



Mobile number protability is the next of services to be lauched , But in our country where more than 90% of the mobile phone subscribers are post paid customers , not sure if this is really going to be such big game changer . Well i do see one product , whose purchase may be severely dented going forward , the Dual SIM mobile phone .

I have been a mobile phone user for ten years ( Intially it costed Rs.4/min to call and Rs.2/min to receive a call ) but never felt the need to either carry more than one mobile nor for a dual SIM phone . But for some reason this species of phone has been a huge hit , forcing even market leader Nokia to reluctantly introduce dual SIM phones .

We just have to wait and watch how much churn of subscribers will this new service cause . May the operators with strongest signals survive !!! .

Well , when on this topic , IDEA cellular, seems to be the only operator looking forward to this service. Kind of liked their new number portability Ads..but don't think i'am going to change my operator anytime soon .
