Frequently asked questions

What is Mobile Number Portability?
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is a service offered by all mobile service providers that allows you to switch over to another service provider while retaining your existing mobile phone number. So now you can join the exciting world of Vodafone keeping the number you’ve always had.

How will you benefit from MNP?
You are free to choose a new mobile service provider without having to change to a new number. You don’t have to notify friends/ family and associates about your new operator when you move to Vodafone or any other operator. Just use your phone like you always do.

What is porting of numbers ?
Porting of numbers is the actual switching of a mobile operator/ mobile service provider without having to change one’s mobile number. However, only active mobile numbers can be ported, so you do not have your number disconnected before porting.
