SIM registration is helping drive mobile number portability (MNP) among mobile users, as more people take the opportunity to move to the network they wish to register under their name under the SIM Registration Law, according to Telecommunications Connectivity Inc. (TCI).

Since the SIM registration process began on Dec. 27, 2022, TCI started seeing a double-digit increase in porting activity. According to TCI data, 28 percent more mobile users availed of MNP in January 2023, compared to the same period last year; additionally, that's 26 percent more porting activity observed in December 2022.
