Fixed-line floor crossing

How am I going to tell which area a number is from or whether I'm going to be paying for a long distance or local call if the line was ported from one city to another?
Will they limit the porting to areas?

National calls will be free :)
 
ALTHOUGH THE ABILITY to port from one mobile operator to another while keeping your cellphone number hasn't seen a flurry of subscribers switching

You ain't seen Nothing Yet !
Just wait for Neotel to come on line.....:D
 
Neotel who?

Does not mean anything until I can go on their website, order a service and have it installed.

Don't see that happening anytime soon.
 
The rumblings are continuing

The more people ask where Neotel, Neetel NoTel are, the more people come out of the woodwork, implying that things are about to happen.

I am getting a warm and fuzzy feeling here, that we may be on the cusp of a bandwidth wave, being washed ashore by a flood of cable.

Let ask the right questions.

What is happening with SAT3 being opened up, and when will Infraco/Neotel force Telkom to drop intercity bandwidth prices by providing there own services on a cost+ open access basis.
 
Migrations flaky system

This being South Africa where any company can just ignore government rules (capping, etc)....
My mother wanted to port from MTN to Vodacom.
The guy at the vodacom SP told her that the MTN Service Provider (the MTN shop) refuse to allow the migration. "If the SP refuse there is nothing he can do."
Now how do you get your head around this nonsense?

As far as I know SPs pay for a range of numbers, then sell them to customers. If the number become inactive for x days or gets deleted, the number returns to the SP, which is the "owner" of that number. That cool number you have on your phone dont belong to you, you "borrow" it.
Thats how it was before.
But now customers can migrate to other SPs, the owning SP losing that number having to buy more. Will all SPs cooperate is the question...
