We at Telecommunications Connectivity Inc. (TCI), a joint venture of DITO, Globe and Smart, support the government in making Mobile Number Portability (MNP) a success. We assure our regulator, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) that TCI is actively working on addressing the MNP “roadblocks”.
TCI has earlier anticipated some hiccups due to differences in the underlying network architecture and design of the network infrastructure used by the MSPs.
A combination of non-technical and technical issues contributed to the birth pains in the implementation of MNP. Among the technical issues that TCI has grappled with and resolved within the first two weeks of the MNP launch on September 30, 2021, include port out rejections, unique subscriber code (USC) generation, enabling portability of Virtual Number Operators (VNOs) and airtime loading.
