  • Any idea on how many people have ported out of which network(mobilink,telenor,ufone,warid)

    • yeah i was about to ask the same thing …
      my guess is highest number might have been ported out from Mobilink then Zong

  • since the blog is about mnp, i’d like to divert attention of admin towards an annoying mnp related problem faced when calling from ufone to any ported number, the call timer immediately starts even before the call is received and sometimes a weird tone goes before the actual tone. Is there a technical reason y it happens, and is there a solution? I called ufone helpline many times but they’re helpless. Admin can take this issue to related authority, i suppose.

  • pls also tell about the number of Mnp from one network , i mean how many subscribersjoin or leave a particular network through mnp
