Mobile Number Portability in India to cost Rs. 19

The final date for Mobile Number Portability (MNP) across India has finally been fixed even as it was launched in Haryana yesterday ( Nov 27). Now mobile users in Kolkata will be able to switch service providers while retaining their numbers from January 20, 2011 when MNP will be implemented across India, The Telegraph reports.

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal told reporters while launching MNP in Haryana, "Mobile number portability will be rolled out across India on January 20, 2011." A senior executive for a top operator added, "There could be some introductory tariff plans for customers changing service providers. High-speed value-added services such as video calls can also be used to lure new customers. Operators could also waive porting charges as an incentive."

MNP is applicable within the circle, and you cannot use it if you want to shift to another city outside the circle. For porting, a subscriber has to send an SMS - PORT Mobile Number - from the number he wishes to be ported, to 1900. The subscriber will be sent a unique porting code through SMS by his current service provider and this has to be quoted in the application form. Porting process is supposed to be completed within seven working days. Even as DoT has recommended a porting fee of Rs. 19, some operators such as Idea Cellular may consider waiving off the porting charges.

Windows Phone 7 Device For Every Microsoft Employee

Windows Phone 7 Microsoft employees will get Windows Phone 7 -- each and every one of them. That's 90,000 Windows Phone 7 devices! Great way to ensure Windows Phone 7 devices get more holding hands than Microsoft's social networking phone disaster, Kin . Microsoft has a tradition of introducing employees to new software and technology (through a process called "dogfooding"), and it isn't the first company to do so. According to Engadget , Apple reportedly gave each one of their employees an iPhone back in 2007; Google did a similar thing with the Nexus One phone. Some analysts are taking a dig at Microsoft's decision to distribute Windows Phone 7 devices within employees, referring to Steve Ballmer's alleged stomping on an employee-owned iPhone at a Microsoft event. Microsoft's way to stop employees from using smartphones from competing brands is to equip them with a home-brewn Windows Phone 7 device -- not a bad strategy, don't think any Microsof...
