The NMC last month said all was set for it to take-off from 1st July indicating that test runs for personnel of mobile operators had begun.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Whitehill said MNP would level the playing field and give the customer the freedom to move their number to the service provider of their choice and this Vodafone supports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that MNP will grow the telecom industry and improve services for the Ghanaian people. We have cooperated fully with the relevant authorities to ensure the process is quick, easy, and safe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Vodafone Ghana, Mr Whitehill assured, had also made significant improvement in customer service delivery in recent times and believed that with the continuous investment to ensure quality and reliable service, the company was more than ready to take advantage of what MNP would bring.<\/p>\n<p>He said Vodafone Ghana would be enhancing its value proposition even more in the upcoming weeks to hold on to their existing customers whilst attracting new ones.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bob Palitz, the NCA consultant on the MNP told communication reporters last month that: \u201cthis is one of the major collaborative processes that the NCA has been involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said Ghana stands at an advantage because it does not have to reinvent the wheel because the NCA has taken cues from the experiences of other countries that have introduced the MNP system.<\/p>\n<p>The process of moving number is called porting. The original network under MNP system becomes the \u201cdonor\u201d of the number, while the new network is the \u201crecipient\u201d of the number.<\/p>\n<p>Come July 1st, a Ghanaian mobile phone user wishing to change his network for various reasons can comfortably walk to another network to port his number within 24 hours as has been set by the NCA. This will enable him to retain his original number and to cease to be a subscriber of the donor network.<\/p>\n<p>MNP is active in countries like Australia, Denmark and Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Source: GNA<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\t \t\t |   | <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Currently reading http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/04\/05\/vodafone-won%E2%80%99t-transfer-cost-of-porting-to-mobile-phone-users-ceo-assures\/\" title=\"Click to send this page to Twitter!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tweet This!<\/a> |<br \/>\n\t\t<!--\n\t\t<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n\t\t\txmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n\t\t\txmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\">\n\t\t<rdf:Description rdf:about=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/04\/05\/vodafone-won%e2%80%99t-transfer-cost-of-porting-to-mobile-phone-users-ceo-assures\/\"\n    dc:identifier=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/04\/05\/vodafone-won%e2%80%99t-transfer-cost-of-porting-to-mobile-phone-users-ceo-assures\/\"\n    dc:title=\"Vodafone won&rsquo;t transfer cost of porting to mobile phone users &#8211; CEO assures\"\n    trackback:ping=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/04\/05\/vodafone-won%e2%80%99t-transfer-cost-of-porting-to-mobile-phone-users-ceo-assures\/trackback\/\" \/>\n<\/rdf:RDF>\t\t--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Comments<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t<!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/9d233981vodafone.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read this article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanabusinessnews.com\/2011\/04\/05\/vodafone-won\u2019t-transfer-cost-of-porting-to-mobile-phone-users-ceo-assures\/\" title=\"Vodafone won\u2019t transfer cost of porting to mobile phone users \u2013 CEO assures\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vodafone won\u2019t transfer cost of porting to mobile phone users \u2013 CEO assures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> You Are Here: Home \u00bb ICT \u00bb Vodafone won\u2019t transfer cost of porting to mobile phone users \u2013 CEO assures Page last updated at Tuesday, April 5, 2011 7:07 AM \/\/ Vodafone Ghana on Monday says it will not transfer in any way the cost of porting one\u2019s network number to mobile users come July 1st for the introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in the country.
