MobileNumberPortability (MNP) was designed to give consumers the ability to change mobile carriers while retaining their existing phone number. This fosters competition amongst service providers, motivating users to switch for better service, customer support, or more attractive pricing (1). The core principle is consumer choice as a catalyst for market improvements. Although options (2) and (3) may be consequences of MNP-driven competition, they are not the primary objectives of its implementation.
