Jamaica sees 200 mobile numbers ported in 48 hours
Jamaica's technology ministry recorded over 200 mobile numbers ported in the two days that the portability service has been available.
Cable & Wireless Communications' local operator LIME has been the big winner, seeing 190 new customers, while Digicel welcomed 14 new users.
Jamaica introduced number portability last week for both fixed and mobile telephony. The start of the service was delayed for almost a month due to LIME needing to conduct more tests and correct glitches.
All telecommunications providers have completed testing and are ready to carry out the process, which should be done at no cost for the customer. The technical process will be provided by Dutch company Porting Access B.V., which was granted a 10-year license in March.
