Peru mobile number portings increase 5 percent in November

A total of 388,293 Peruvian mobile users ported their phone number in November to a new operator, equal to 4.9 percent more than the previous month, according to the latest figures released by telecom regulator Osiptel. This continues the growth trend started in July, since which portings have averaged over 250,000 per month.

The operators Entel and Claro (America Movil) again led the monthly portability rankings, adding 142,812 and 139,866 lines respectively but shedding 83,928 and 97,190 lines over the same period. Movistar (Telefonica) registered a large deficit, adding 84072 users but losing 153,541, while Bitel was also a net loser, adding 21,538 but shedding 53,046.

The watchdog said a total of 5.64 million mobile lines have been ported since MNP was activated in July 2014, meaning around 14 percent of the total mobile lines currently in service (nearly 38 million) have been ported using the system.
