The state office is still silent, first it wants to discuss the changes with stakeholders.
Office for the Regulation of Electronic Communications and Postal Services at the beginning of last year he talked about itthat its goal is to speed up number portability in Slovakia.
It currently lasts four working days and it has been speculated that instant transmissions could become a reality in our country as well. They also work abroad. Of course, in the end, the state office can only agree with the operators to shorten the deadlines.
The Office for Živé.sk has confirmed that it has already prepared its proposal. What is part of it, he does not want to say yet.
“The regulatory authority has already prepared a draft measure on number portability, which it wants to discuss in the coming days with the main stakeholders – mobile operators,” regulator spokeswoman Adriana Volfová told Živé.sk.
The representative of the Office added that in Electronic Communications Actwhich applies from 1 February 2022, states that the Office is to issue rules for keeping the customer’s number when porting the number within six months of the entry into force of this Act – ie until 31 July 2022.

Transmissions are popular with us
Number porting works between all four network operators – ie between Orange, Telekom, O2 and 4ka. During the transfer, the customer requests only a new provider and arranges the entire process. When transferring the number via the e-shop or by phone, the period begins to run the day after signing the contract with the courier.
Number porting is very popular among clients. In recent years, O2 in particular has contributed to mass transfers between operators. Currently, the 4th operator obtains the most clients through transmissions, and Telekom is also doing well.
In 2021, O2 lost over 4,000 clients through O2 number transmissions, Orange lost almost 4.5 thousand customers, Telekom gained almost 7,000 and 4ka almost 10,000. Data to be transferred see a separate article.
The number porting process could be shortened.

The process is free. In the past, clients had to pay extra for it – the fee was required by the original operator. O2 never charged him, Orange a Telekom They canceled the fee in 2015. Not even 4 people have asked for the fee since its start – it entered the market in autumn 2015.
