At the same time, the application of number portability from one circle to another will be completed in five days.

In the new mobile number portability system, the whole process will be fast and simple. Under the new system, the process will take less time to complete. The current time is seven days. TRAI said in a statement that there will be a 'no service period' for 6 days for mobile number portability in all Licensed service areas (LSAs).

Applications for mobile number portability will not be submitted on November 4, 2019 from 6 pm to 10 pm. The new system will come into effect from 11 November 2019. TRAI has said that under the existing MNP process, mobile subscribers can generate a Unique porting code (UPC) and submit a port request to the operator of their choice. This process has to be completed by 17:59:59 hrs on 4 November 2019.
