From January 2010, mobile users can change their telecom service provider while retaining their phone numbers as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on 23/09/09 Wednesday issued regulations for implementation of mobile number portability (MNP) stating January 1, 2010, as the deadline to begin MNP in metros and category A circles. The service would be available in the rest of the country from March, 2010.
The regulator, however was silent on the most important aspect of 'porting charge' which is the amount that a mobile user shall have to pay for porting the number. The regulations come a year after the government had announced MNP implementation. The communications and IT minister, A Raja had last August said that MNP would be implemented last year however the process kept getting delayed.
According to a statement issued by the regulator, MNP facility shall be available only within a given licensed service area.
A subscriber holding a mobile number is eligible to make a porting request only after 90 days of the date of activation of his mobile connection. If a number is already ported once, the number can again be ported only after 90 days from the date of the previous porting.
The subscriber who wishes to port his mobile number should approach the recipient operator (the operator to whom the subscriber wants to port his number). The subscriber may be required to pay porting charges, if any, to the recipient operator. Also, the subscriber must clear all the bills issued prior to the date of porting. The subscriber shall give an undertaking that he has already paid all billed dues to the donor operator as on the date of the request for porting.
Also, he shall pay dues to the donor operator pertaining to the mobile number till its eventual porting, and that he understands and agrees that in event of non-payment of any such dues to the donor operator, the ported mobile number shall be liable to be disconnected by the recipient operator.
A subscriber may withdraw his porting request within 24 hours of its submission to the recipient operator. However, the porting charges shall not be refundable. Access providers are required to implement the all call query method.
The originating operator shall be responsible to route the call to correct terminating network.

Palm Pre - an iPhone Killer, Yes or No
Publisher's note: unlike the older Palm Pre mini Review, this post was written with the final retail version of the Palm Pre.
Remember the old "Don't call it a phone" ads for wireless company Helio? I was reminded of the "don't call it" imperative when I first laid my fingers on the new Palm Pre from Sprint this evening. Everyone wants to know how it compares to Apple's iconic handheld. Is it an iPhone killer?
No, it's not. And that's not a bad thing. It's simply different. Despite having a capacitive touchscreen, snappy animations and even many of the same designers (defects from Apple's iPhone team), the Pre is a very different device.
"Smaller dimensions don't sacrifice usability"
For one, it's so much smaller. At only about two-thirds as tall and about 20 percent narrower, this Palm fits easily in your palm (no matter how small your mitts) and slips easily into a pocket. Even with the screen slid up and the tiny keyboard exposed, the Pre is an amazingly tight package – something you can't appreciate from photos but only by actually handling it. Being so petite, it breaks the whole perception of smartphone as a synonym for "brick."
"The Pre's keyboard is incredibly accurate"
But the smaller dimensions don't sacrifice usability. Sure, you have a bit less screen (3.1 vs. 3.5 inches diagonal on the iPhone). But you can use the whole thing. Sporting a mechanical keyboard, the Pre doesn't need to sacrifice the bottom half of its LCD as the iPhone does with its soft keyboard. And despite being genuinely tiny, the Pre's keyboard is incredibly accurate. The rubberized little buttons held on tightly to my fingertips, so that I didn't produce a single typo –more than I can say about my experience on a full-size laptop. (And it's a world apart from the wild key mashing that happens on the iPhone's virtual keyboard.)
Palm's WebOS operating system also uses the screen very differently. Tapping the (OK, iPhone-like) center button below the screen reduces program windows to "cards" that float onscreen like windows on a computer desktop. Like all animations on the Pre, switching to the card view takes a little longer than you think it should, making you wonder if it's really going to happen. But it's worth the wait. Flicking the cards back and forth to select among open apps is so much faster than closing one app and starting another one on the iPhone. This multitasking approximates the Windows or Mac experience more than any cellphone I've ever touched.
The Pre also has a different take on gestures. In addition to multitouch sliding and pinching (to zoom in or out), it allows you to swipe along a touch-sensitive strip below the screen. Sliding your finger to the left, for example, backs out of a program one step at time. So, for example, after creating a calendar entry, I could back out first to a view of the entire day and then back out to the "card" view of all my open applications.
"Another huge time-saver is the universal search function"
Another huge time-saver is the universal search function. From virtually anywhere, simply start typing a name or word, and Web OS automatically presents you with any of the venues you might search for it. For example, while in the card view, I typed "Susan Boyle" and was presented with options to look up the flash-in-the-pan chanteuse on Google, Wikipedia, or Twitter – all the places where the search engine found her name. If Susan and I were pals, and she were in my address book, that search option would have come up as well. Ditto with the calendar if we had a lunch date on the books.
"In some aspects, however, the Pre is in fact like the iPhone"
I know it may appear that I am, in fact, comparing the Pre to the iPhone by saying how much better it is. But for everything I see as a benefit, other people may see as drawbacks. I like the mechanical keyboard, but some aesthetes may look down on the two –piece sliding design of the Pre and instead prefer the monolithic slab of the iPhone. Likewise, the power multitasking that I love could be too busy for people who like the one-thing-at-a-time, easy-to-get-home navigation on the iPhone.
In some aspects, however, the Pre is in fact like the iPhone. It also offers Google Maps, for example, and they pop up slide around about the same as on an iPhone, which is to say, a bit slowly and a bit choppily. Web browsing seemed to be about the same as well. The Pre's browser did launch a bit quicker, but the surfing experience was similar, at least in my very limited tests This was surprising, given Sprint's powerful EV-DO data network and AT&T's own-far-from-loved 3G service.
Just before I handed the Pre back to its very patient owner, Sprint marketing president Paget Alves, I remembered one more thing I should test – call quality. I quickly dialed my sister in LA (on her landline). Despite being in the bustling-loud Sprint store in Manhattan, I heard her crystal clear, as she did me. "You sound much better on this than on your own phone," she said, referring to my iPhone. So, unlike with Helio's old handhelds, you can indeed call the Pre "a phone."

Nokia N97 review - deserves a better browser
* Pros Great ergonomics. Responsive user interface. Good networking skills
* Cons Weak LED camera flash. Flaky web browser
It isn't easy being the smartest kid on the block. Since the N80 was announced back in 2005, Nokia has dedicated itself to shoving more cutting-edge tech into our pockets than anyone else. But it’s been unable to match the sizzle of its more showy rivals. Until now.
The N95 and N96 bristled with iPhone-busting specs, but were hampered by poor battery life and an antiquated control system. But with the N97, Nokia has finally honed a phone that's fit to fight for the smartphone top spot.
Touch me, I'm thick
Nokia has arrived shockingly late to the touchscreen party. But it's doing its best to make up for lost time. While the N97 doesn't offer the multi-fingered gesture controls of the iPhone or Palm Pre, Nokia's Series 60 operating system has been sensibly tweaked to be more finger-friendly than Windows Mobile.
You'll have to prod the screen hard, as Nokia has opted for a pressure-sensitive resistive touchscreen for the N97, but haptic feedback helps to keep the experience enjoyable.
Control doesn't stop at the touchscreen, either. The N97 is also the first N-series phone to offer a nano-laptop form factor, with a QWERTY keypad that slides out while the screen is pushed upwards by a reassuringly solid hinge.
The result is an ergonomic joy, which invites you to hook your forefingers behind the screen and type with your thumbs.
The N97's design will please fans of the old Psion PDAs (we are legion at Stuff) but it does have an inevitable impact on the N97's girth. At 16mm, the N97 is 4mm thicker than the iPhone and a smidge fatter than the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.
The great communicator
The N97's QWERTY keyboard is easier to use than the iPhone's cramped virtual keypad. But with so little travel in each key, it's not much more responsive than tapping a touchscreen, and isn't blessed with Apple's error-correcting smarts. The keyboard is certainly no match for the Blackberry Bold, and the lack of number keys is frustrating.
On the bright side, the N97's direction pad provides a precise method of navigating around documents and webpages, and selecting text to copy and paste.
What's more, email is gloriously easy to set up - and thanks to Exchange support it will work with corporate email too. It'll even read your mails to you in a hilarious robotic voice if you need cheering up.
The N97 deserves a better browser
The N97 features a lovely Facebook app, with a widget that sits on the customisable homescreen. Sadly, the same thought hasn't gone into the N97's web browser, which appears to be stuck in the 1990s. Zooming in and out is clumsy and, criminally, there's no web search box.
Website rendering is patchy, too - some sites look great on the full-width screen, but others fall apart. In short, the N97 desperately needs its own version of Firefox or Opera Mobile. The good news is that, unlike Apple, Nokia won't stop 3rd parties from developing their own browsers.
Review continues after the break...
advertisement
You can download files direct from the web, too, so you can buy music from the store of your choice rather than being restricted to iTunes. Indeed, a general sense of openness is one of the N97's most charming characteristics, and will appeal to many people who don't like the idea of submitting to Apple's totalitarian regime.
Music and movies
While the N97 ditches the dedicated media keys of the N95 and N96, it's still a media marvel. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack and bundled remote control – plus a whacking 32GB onboard memory, expandable to 48GB with a MicroSD card. That's enough for 10,000 high-quality MP3 files.
And with double the battery life of the N96 (40 hours for music playback), you'll actually be able to listen to a fair few of your songs between charges.
The 3.5in, 640x320-pixel widescreen is perfect for viewing videos too, which makes it rather galling that Nokia opted not to pre-load the N96's BBC iPlayer app.
Hopefully iPlayer – and the Comes With Music subscription service – will be available as options at a later date. For now, you'll have to make do with YouTube and files you copy from your PC using the Nokia Music software (or by dragging and dropping if you're a Mac user).
You can make and share your own movies, too, thanks to the good quality VGA video capture and a TV output. As for stills, the N97's 5MP autofocus camera produces excellent shots in daylight, but at night it's let down by the weak LED flash.
Stonking sat-nav
But don't fill up all that memory with movies and pictures - you'll want to leave room for some maps, too. While not as comprehensive for local search as Google Maps, Nokia Maps offers 3D views, sophisticated routing and traffic infromation.
With integrated compass and A-GPS, the N97 is a fully-featured satellite navigation unit that can be used on foot, in the car or – with a bit of ingenuity – on a bicycle.
You can side-load maps from your computer to avoid data charges, but you'll only get 3 months of Walk and Drive navigation out of the box – a year's subscription to the service costs approximately £85.
Not appy with Ovi
You've long been able to download applications to Nokia's Symbian phones. But the runaway success of the iTunes App Store has led Nokia to develop its own one-stop shop for applications, music and games and maps (and, eventually, storage for your emails, pictures and videos).
Unfortunately, Nokia's Ovi store has been suffering from downtime since it was launched. When it does work, it gives access to a small number of apps and games.
No doubt the list will grow, but a search tool is (once again) absent, making it impossible to find anything other than Nokia's recommendations. There's no Twitter or Skype client. No iPlayer. And no evidence of the rumoured Spotify app.
Great all-rounder
The N97 is a truly desirable object that elicits coos of appreciation from audiences jaded by the ubiquity of the iPhone. It's a powerful smartphone that excels in email. It's a useful navigator and digital camera. And, unlike its predecessors, all this power doesn't come at the cost of a weak battery or poor control system.
But like any modern smartphone, this hardware is just a platform. The N97, good as it is, will only become great if Nokia sorts out Ovi and manages to encourage developers to produce apps that rival the iPhone.
