Do you need MNP and Why?

[Neo-N]

There are already quiet a few Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Threads on TE...

MNP has a lot of hype around it but I just need to know why people need MNP so badly.

Here are the questions:

1) Who is your current Service Provider?

2) Do you feel the need to switch to some other Service Provider?

3) If Yes, Why?

4) Who will be the Service Provider you'll switch to?

BTW a suggestion, Add an extra question 5.Using 'Current Operator Since ____' as this would be major factor as MNP for subscribers having their current operator since long time & need to change their operators for better services/rates etc, people who change their operators frequently for better talktime or FRC values wont have much effect of MNP

Really? That's gonna be interesting then. Though I doubt MTNL infrastructure to be as good as Reliance. You guys getting 1.5 megs down, that's insane.
