Baku, Azerbaijan, April 10
By Huseyn Valiyev - Trend
The number of subscribers of other mobile operators migrating to Azerfon company's network by using the mobile number portability service (MNP), does not exceed the number of new subscribers buying NarMobile numbers, Azerfon company head Kent McNeely told the media on April 8.
"This is typical not only for Azerfon, but also other mobile operators in Azerbaijan," he said.
"The target audience for MNP is the corporate segment," he said. "The number of NarMobile private subscribers, passing into the networks of other operators when this service was launched, is only a few hundred. As for corporate users, the competition among operators is observed in this segment today. Each of the mobile operators is trying to keep this category of subscribers. Our tariff policy towards corporate users is quite flexible. It is formed depending on their needs. Soon we will announce the specific data about the number of corporate clients choosing NarMobile's network."
Implementation of the MNP service will allow mobile communication subscribers to save their phone number if they change service providers. The number transfer envisages a subscriber's transition from one service to another with the provider's prefix of 050, 051, 055, 070 and 077.
