Telefonica Moviles, Nextel del Peru and America Movil, the three mobile phone service providers in Peru, have signed an agreement in order to
allow their clients to keep their mobile phone numbers when they move to one service provider into another one.
These three companies have signed a contract with the Peruvian-Spanish partnership CEI (Informatica El Corte Ingles, Everis Spain and Consulting Outsourcing Management), so that they can start soon to build the database necessary for mobile number portability.
The partnership will manage this database (which will include the list of the clients who apply for this service), will verify the state of the requests and will create a daily log with all these numbers.
This free system will start to operate in January 2010, and will allow users to switch between mobile phone service providers while keeping their own numbers.
