Way more money off on the Volcano hybrid and the hose looks awesome versus the bag however is it worth losing portability?
I currently have Rogers. Work gave me a Bell phone and I and don't see the need to keep paying for my own phone. However I have thousands of contacts who know my cell and it is way too daunting to inform everyone of my number change.
I don't care about data. Just minimal voice minutes is fine so that I can retain that number. I would like my number ported. If call redirect doesn't cost too much I would like that too so I only have to carry 1 phone around. Hoping for no more than $15 a month taxes in.

IQST – iQSTEL Announces Mobile Number Portability Application Blockchain Platform
New York, NY – March 3, 2021 – iQSTEL, Inc. (USOTC: IQST), an international provider of Telecom, Technology, Fintech and Blockchain solutions, today announced plans to launch sales of its new Mobile Number Portability Application (MNPA) Blockchain Platform beginning in April of this year, 2021.
The MNPA is a product of iQSTEL’s Blockchain platform development subsidiary, ItsBchain.
The MNPA allows a Mobile End User to easily and quickly change form one Mobile Network Carrier to another in just 3 clicks. No days long dealing with a service provider anymore.
iQSTEL’s MNPA is anticipated to be an industry gamechanger as it allows Mobile Users to seamlessly change from one Mobile Network Carrier to another.
The initial estimation of the MNPA Platform as a Service (PaaS) market size is approximately $260 million annually. iQSTEL’s ItsBchain subsidiary is targeting a 10% MPNA market capture between 2021-2023.
ItsBchain’s long-term goal is to implement the MNPA PaaS, or as we like to say, Blockchain as a Service (BaaS), with over one billion end users.
Our MNPA BaaS will include smart contract functionality and as part of the Blockchain platform, our MNPA will also include a high degree of protection for end user information.

First off, I have to say, Jim Browning is the ****ing man! Thanks to watching his techniques on YouTube, I've got my spam calls down to zero from out of the USA, and now, I'm just dealing with local phishing attempts, and am narrowing those down too. Did you see that video where he takes down the call center in India?! Awesome work dude!
So I've been using the Carrier Lookup tool to find out where my spam calls come from, and like I said, I have eliminated most of the ones from out of the USA with complaints to the carriers. They always reply to my complaints, it's amazing. So now, I am still getting calls from what I think are shady B2B businesses, or local phishing scammers.
My business phone is run through Google Voice answering service, and so they need to state why they are calling right off the bat, which throws off the caller, and they usually hang up. Occasionally, they will give me a suspicious answer, which is when I press the button that replies "Please be more clear in your response" or something like that. And sometimes, they are even legit!
When I look these suspicious numbers up on this website: https://scammerblaster.com/carrier-lookup/
I get the carrier (which is always in the USA, and not a VOIP provider, since I've gotten most of Asian scammers taken care of), and a string of digits after it, like this: Verizon Wireless:6006 - SVR/2
So, I am wondering if I can narrow down the location a bit more with that code after the carrier name. This string above is the most common by far that I get. I would like to know a bit more before I start retaliating.
Is anyone familiar with this? What else can I do to find the caller's location and/or identity? Thanks! And thank you Jim for your service!
Mobile number portability allows users to change the carrier keeping the same number. This reduces switching costs.
Generally, when someone changes their number, reaching everyone with the new number takes a longer time. Everyone has to get informed and update their contact list for the new number. However, with the MNP people can use their same mobile number for different networks.
In simple words, people can switch to Ncell with an NTC number. It might sound confusing, yet it is much more convenient.
If you don't know what Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is, it is a system that allows a customer to transfer their mobile number from one telco to another. For example, I want to move to Globe from Smart and with MNP, I don't have to change my number. This is already a thing in other markets like Singapore and Taiwan, and I wonder how come there is no serious push to do this in the Philippines?
I know the big two telcos have tried before, but I don't think they're serious about it... From the customer perspective, this should already be a thing years ago.
I am just hoping there is a bigger push for this. Some times, I want to change telco providers as there are very attractive offers out there, but the hassle of changing mobile numbers (especially in today's world that digital accounts and bank transactions are closely linked to your mobile number) does not make it worth it. :(
I'm trying to upgrade dad to a smartphone from his flip phone. And also move him to Internet only service for the house.
Can I port his landline phone number, keep it, and provision it to a new Cell #?
He's adamant about keeping his landline # that he's had since the early 1980's.
I'm trying to get a new VoIP business venture off the ground and I'm finding out that many of the numbers in my rural state are not portable to two SIP carriers that I have access to. One number is currently with Spectrum (formerly TWC) but originally from an independent telco (inside of a 1000 block that is). Others would be numbers with independent phone companies like TDS or Consolidated Communications (the arm of the business formerly known as Fairpoint Classic).
Are there any tricks or ways around this? Is Remote Call Forwarding the only option?
Is it possible to use another company as a jumping point, as in port from Company A to Company B, then Company B to my carrier?
Also, is there a way to see who interconnects with whom? As I understand it, this is the problem. Thanks for any explanation that you can provide.
Hi, i was using rcs on VodafoneIT but, after a portability to WindtreIT, my Vodafone contacts are not able to send me messages anymore (they receive mines), while other carrier's guests have no problems at all.
I know that Vodafone have their own rcs hub ($$money$$), while other carriers uses Jibe Mobile from Google.
Is there somebody that have solved this issue? Thx a lot.
I may no longer need my current postpaid plan if we start working at home more. I am considering on not renewing my postpaid plan once it ends and move the same number to prepaid. Does any one know if both Smart and Globe already allow this since it is already past the 6 month leeway for them?

Does anyone know the regulation on what happens if you port your number, and then cancel the new service?
E.g., if I port my number to a mobile operator, find out that the service is crap, and cancel it within a certain number of days, do they release it back to the original operator, or do they keep the number in their own pool?
From personal experience, I ported a number to MetroPCS a few years ago, didn't like the service, cancelled it same day, was told by the rep I'll lose my number, but my number appears to have been returned (on the next day, IIRC) back to the original operator (because VoIP isn't really regulated, they've never cancelled the original service (you often have to contact your provider if you port-out — they'll happily continue billing you otherwise), so, I'm still the owner of that number without doing anything special other than simply paying the bills as if the port-out has never happened).

We are working on the marketing material now in preparation for the market launch of the MPNA service. The market launch is slightly delayed (2-3 weeks) from the original April target launch date due to project execution issues resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 crisis in India.
The MNPA is a product of iQSTEL's Blockchain platform development subsidiary, ItsBchain (www.itsBchain.com).
As we prepare to rollout the MPNA service, we want to thank www.Cynopia.com for all your support and professional work in the development of all iQSTEL - Blockchain platforms.
