Mobile number portability hitting Singapore on June 13

Starting from June 13, mobile phone users in Singapore will be able to switch service providers without changing their numbers. At the moment, about 130,000 mobile phone users have ported their numbers under a current call-forwarding solution, which assumes that consumers have to use their old and new mobile numbers concurrently. These consumers will have until May 14 to decide which number they want to retain. Mobile number portability traditionally works against incumbent players such as SingTel, which has a 41% market share, while Starhub and MobileOne have 31 and 27 percent share, respectively.
