New Delhi, December 7
Sector regulator TRAI on Tuesday directed telecom operators to “immediately” enable port-out SMS facility for all mobile users requiring it, irrespective of value of their tariff offer, vouchers, or plans.
TRAI said in the recent past it has received complaints from subscribers over their inability to send SMS on short code 1900 specified for UPC (Unique Porting Code) generation, for availing mobile number portablity facility despite having sufficient balance in their prepaid accounts.
“Now therefore the authority...directs all service providers to enable, for all subscribers, requesting for a unique porting code, the facility to send SMS on short code 1900, in order to exercise their right to avail porting facility irrespective of the tariff plan,” TRAI said in its direction. — PTI
