Since September last year, more than 3.1 million customers of fixed and mobile number portability asked, a mechanism that allows subscribers to keep the phone number when changing operator. Two-thirds of requests from users of mobile phones, according to data released today by ABR Telecom, an entity that administers the portability in Brazil.

By midnight yesterday, we received orders of 2.35 million people, with the migration of its lines to other operators. Of this total, 68% are lines of mobile phones, and 32% of fixed. According to data from the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), in Brazil there are around 40 million landlines and 164.5 million mobile phones.

To apply for portability, the subscriber has to look for the operator that you want to migrate, full name, number of identity document, address, phone number and carrier name of origin. The customer will also have to prove who is the holder of the telephone line. Migration can only occur within the same type of service: mobile to mobile and fixed to fixed. Under the rules, the application has to be answered within five working days.
