Jammu & Kashmir, which has one of the “lowest user base”, continues to receive the lowest Mobile number portability (MNP) requests, according to the Indian Telecom regulator TRAI.

MNP is a service that allows a cellphone or smartphone customer to change telecom carrier by keeping the same phone number.

In the month of September 2015, JK received 1,417 such requests, lowest in northern region.

Porting requests were submitted for 4.16 million connections in the month of September 2015 across India.

“This is down 3.26% from 4.30 million porting requests reported in August 2015,” TRAI said. “India had a total mobile connection base of 996.65 million connections (893 million active) as of September 2015.”

TRAI does not provide any operator-wise breakdown for these number porting requests.
