Since November 10, the three major operators have successfully entered the trial operation phase with the number transfer service. Many users have consulted whether they have the right to transfer the number through the SMS.
However, in the actual visit, the interface journalists found that the procedures for carrying the number-to-network service at this stage are still quite complicated. Many of the interviewed users encountered the exclusive discount package without expiration during the consultation. Unexpired threshold.
As we all know, the ultimate goal of implementing the port number transfer policy is to promote market competition, break market monopolies, and promote network speed-up and fee reduction. Based on this, in December last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced new regulations and procedures for port number transfer, and launched pilot projects in five provinces and cities including Tianjin, Hubei, Yunnan, Jiangxi and Hainan.
It stands to reason that nearly a year of pilot testing should already be able to clear many obstacles for nationwide mobility. However, from the current situation, the pilot is only to allow operators to exercise the way of attack and defense in advance. According to previous media reports, whether it is to reduce the number of business outlets, extend the queue time, or extend the user contract period in the name of the gift package, these are the methods that operators have used during the pilot period.
Of course, there are also users who can withstand the layers and can’t get the transfer number, but it is not so easy to bring them. It may be that you accidentally your number becomes the “nickname” that you bring into the operator. You must sign the long-term contract as required and accept the pre-existing low-limit rule.
A user reported to the interface journalist that when he applied for the port number transfer service, the number was a nickname and the contract period was 50 years. In accordance with the requirements of China Unicom, the liquidated damages were required to transfer the number.
In addition to this, some users said that when they went to the telecom business hall to inquire about the business, they were told that their number 8 in the tail number was nicknamed in telecommunications, and it was necessary to pre-store the call charge, and there was a monthly low of 49 yuan. Eliminate.
A telecom industry person, like an interface journalist, showed a document from a province about operators’ nicknames. The document shows that the province has no restrictions on the carrying of the nickname, but the user needs to enter the guarantor to sign the guarantee agreement according to the rules of the nickname.
What kind of number is the nickname? The person indicated that the nickname standards of the three major operators are not consistent at present, and the three parties have never published specific nickname rules to the public. The nickname belongs to several levels, and it is necessary to pay a lot of low-cost, everything must be handled from the customer service. Know.
The following picture is a China Telecom 4G number registration rule that flows out of the Communication People’s Paradise Forum. You can see that the number of the tail number is 8, or the number with three digits of the ending or decrement is the nickname. Pre-stored 200 yuan, and monthly low of 49 yuan. Below the forum post, some netizens said that according to this standard, the number that they had done a few years ago has become a “nickname”.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of too many user complaints, at present, Beijing and Guangzhou have cancelled the restrictions on nickname handling after the 18th. The interface journalist called China Telecom’s customer service phone to confirm this. In addition, Telecom also added a business office that can handle business. Previously, only one designated business hall in each district could handle it, and now all its own business halls can do.
But in addition to these two regions, in Sichuan, Hebei and other places, there are still users who have encountered the problem of “nickname” when carrying the number.
Telecom expert Fu Liang said that the problem of the difficulty of transferring the “nickname” to the network is actually the transfer of the number to the trial operation stage, which has exposed the problems of the “nickname” for a long time. In his view, the operator should, under the guidance of the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issue specific nickname rules, regulate the distribution of nicknames, and promptly announce to the public.
