Abstract

The report was prepared on the basis of a comparative study, done to know the pros and cons of Mobile Number Portability System (MNPS) from both customer'' as well as services provider's perspective. Data was obtained through personal interview method at Bangalore. Two questionnaires were prepared; one for cellular service providers and second for the customers. After the Study, it was found that, Customers are eagerly waiting for such a service, where customer can change service provider without changing mobile number. Introduction of MNPS will lead to number of advantages to the customers like low tariff, flexibility to change, good network and more VAS.
