In 2010, China's Tianjin and Hainan launched the pilot business of carrying number to transfer network. Tianjin carried out two-way carrying and Hainan carried out one-way carrying.
In 2014, the second batch of number carrying transfer sites were established in Jiangxi, Hubei and Yunnan.
In March 2019, it was officially put on the agenda.
In November 2019, the trial operation of carrying number to transfer network began.
Just how about the result, it still needs to wait for time to verify, but how to operate the latest number carrying transfer network?
It's not easy to transfer numbers
According to the regulations on the management of number carrying and network transfer service, consumers can change the service of operators without changing the original number.
The steps of carrying number to transfer network are also very simple, only need to edit: cxxz ා user name ා certificate number, and send it to 10086 (mobile) / 10001 (Telecom) / 10010 (Unicom) to check whether it is qualified for carrying in. After the query, if the conditions are met, the user can obtain the authorization code from the carrier, go to the carrier for carrying in, and then you will get a new phone card.
On November 14, the three major operators also announced the detailed rules for the number carrying and network transfer service. The following numbers do not support the number carrying and network transfer at this stage.
Satellite mobile service number: network number is 1349, 174 and other numbers;
Mobile communication resale number: the network number is 170, 171, 162, 165, 167, etc;
Internet of things number: Internet of things private network number (such as 146, 148, 149, 140-144, 1064 segments, etc.) and other general public mobile communication network numbers used for Internet of things applications.
It seems to be easy to carry the number to transfer the network, but it doesn't seem to be easy to operate.
With curiosity, Lei Feng net small edition also tried, found that did not have this qualification. The reason is that there are package services and family services. If you want to switch to the Internet, you need to wait until 2020. However, Xiaobian seems to be lucky. Some netizens say that you need to wait until 2050
In fact, this result is not unexpected, because it involves the interests of operators first. We can refer to foreign examples, so the answer seems obvious.
It took seven years for the U.S. to put the number carrying service into effect on November 24, 2003, from the promulgation of the telecommunications law in 1996 to the official implementation of the number carrying transfer network. Just a year before its official implementation, telecom operators continued to launch a joint protest against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the hope of getting the government back to work.
In order to avoid users running to competitors with their numbers, T-Mobile extended the weekend special charge period, at t directly presented extension to new users, and sprint, the fourth largest operator in the United States, spent $2.1 billion a year on new base stations.
In the United States, T-Mobile reduced the package price by 33% after number carrying and network transfer. In the UK, the monthly subscription price index dropped by 3% and that of all mobile phones including prepaid services dropped by nearly 5%.
Since last year, China Mobile has launched services such as "check the age of the network to send traffic", "voice double discount" and easy check and return value-added services for old customers. China Telecom has launched similar services such as "check the age of the network to send traffic", "renew the contract to get a thousand yuan rebate" and "new people get a maximum of 512 yuan prize". These are to retain customers, with the continuous implementation of the number carrying network transfer, the competition among the three operators will become more and more fierce.
In this way, it is bound to be a difficult and slow change, but in this process, operators who maintain tension will be more motivated to provide cheaper services and better signals, which is a good thing for consumers.
