Making a ...

Hmmm.... thinking of taking another course to upgrade myself... hahahaha havent graduate and now I am thinking of taking a new course. Still considering as the course fees are not cheap... LOL. But don't think I will be taking after I graduated. Heehee... I want to take a BREAK!! Maybe next year 2009, a new year to start a new course. Hahahahaha!

Yesterday bought a home-used slippers for my Dad. Previously he complained that I bought my meimei and not him... Hahaha happened to see a dark blue to suit him and never forgetting myself, bought a red in colour to pamper me for not spending money for past few months.

Never neglect my N82, chosen a pink colour hp pouch for her. Heehee cos the current already quite dirty, wanted to wash but no other clothing for her hence unable to wash. Hohohoh! Another reason to spend money!!

Next stop went to buy A5 file and sheet protectors for my mini projects and then headed home to rest.

About Full Mobile Number Portability

What is Full Mobile Number Portability?

Full Mobile Number Portability is an enhanced mobile number portability solution that will allow you to retain full use of your existing phone number, even when you switch service providers. As such, you will not have to go through the hassle of updating all your contacts on a new number from your new service provider.

Both pre-paid and post-paid mobile subscribers can make use of this solution to retain their original phone numbers but between pre-paid to pre-paid and between post-paid to post-paid mobile subscribers only.

Full Mobile Number Portability will be provided by all mobile service providers from 13 June 2008.

How is Full Mobile Number Portability different from the current mobile number portability solution?

The current mobile number portability scheme is based on a call-forwarding solution. As such, subscribers will possess two mobile numbers (the original mobile number and the new mobile number issued by the new service provider which they switched to). A call made to the original number at the previous service provider will be forwarded to the new number under the call-forwarding approach. When a subscriber under the call-forwarding solution makes a call or sends an SMS, the new number will be reflected on the recipient's phone. Furthermore, the subscriber will not be able to receive MMSes on his original number with the call-forwarding solution.

Also, the call-forwarding solution only applies to post-paid mobile subscribers.

Full Mobile Number Portability will eliminate these limitations, and also extend mobile number portability to pre-paid mobile subscribers.

Who can enjoy Full Mobile Number Portability?

All mobile customers can make use of Full Mobile Number Portability.

However, if you have terminated your mobile service or if your mobile service has been suspended, you may not be able to use Full Mobile Number Portability to regain the number that had been given up during the service suspension/termination.

How long will it take to activate the ported number?

Typically, it will take one working day (not inclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) to activate the ported number. This means that you will be able to use your existing number on your new service provider's network by the next working day from when your porting request was submitted. However, do understand that this timeframe will be subject to approval from the original service providers and the volume of requests for the day.


Will I experience any service disruption when I switch mobile service provider using Full Mobile Number Portability?

There will be some service disruption when your number is being switched over from your old service provider's network to your new service provider's network. This process typically includes deactivation and activation of your number in the previous and new service providers' networks. Depending on the volume of porting requests, the service disruption may take up to 3 hours. Mobile service providers will endeavour to minimise service disruption when they switch your number to your new service provider's network.

Charges Under Full Mobile Number Portability

What do I have to pay to use Full Mobile Number Portability?

There will not be any charge from your original service provider for using Full Mobile Number Portability, including for the pre-paid service.

However, there might be a one-time administrative fee by StarHub for handling your porting request. Further details will be provided at launch on 13 June 2008.

Services & Content Available Under Full Mobile Number Portability

What happens to all my existing Value Added Services (VAS) when I use Full Mobile Number Portability?

Value-added services (VAS) such as wallpapers, ring-tones, information services, and downloads that are provided by your previous mobile service provider will be terminated when you end your mobile contract with them.

For other types of VAS that you have subscribed from other service providers (e.g. third-party content providers), they will continue to be available if these service providers have put in place the necessary arrangements to route the VAS. We encourage you to check with your third-party content providers to find out about these arrangements.

Customers Who Are On The Current Mobile Number Portability Solution (i.e. Call-Forwarding Solution)

I have ported my mobile number using the Call-Forwarding solution, does the new Full Mobile Number Portability still apply to me?

For consumers who are on the call-forwarding solution, they possess two mobile numbers (the original mobile number and the new mobile number issued by the new service provider which they have switched to). You will be using the new Full Mobile Number Portability solution if you choose to retain your original number.

I have ported my mobile number using the Call-Forwarding solution and wish to retain that original number, how can I make this change?

StarHub will be sending you a letter from 22 April onwards to advise you on the key steps that you need to take to move from the current solution to the new solution. You are required to submit your number selection of which mobile number you wish to retain by 14 May 2008.

Do note that If you do not respond with your number selection by 14 May 2008, you will be automatically given your existing StarHub Mobile number as the default number. Thereafter, your original number (i.e. the one from your previous mobile service provider) will not be in use.

I have ported my mobile number using the Call-Forwarding solution and do not wish to retain my original ported number, what do I do?

StarHub will be sending you a letter from 22 April onwards to advise you on the key steps that you need to take to move from the current solution to the new solution. You are required to advise us of the number that you wish to retain by 14 May.

If you choose to retain the current mobile number, your original number (i.e. the one from your previous mobile service provider) will be deactivated and can no longer be used.

I have ported my mobile number using the Call-Forwarding solution and would like to move to Full Mobile Number Portability. Can I still keep the two numbers that I was assigned under Call-Forwarding solution?

Full Mobile Number Portability enables consumers to use the same phone number regardless of which mobile service provider he switches to. It works by keeping a repository of numbers owned by all mobile customers. Under this system, each customer will be linked to only one mobile number, per subscription plan. Hence you would not be able to keep the two numbers that you have been assigned under the Call-Forwarding solution.

However, you may still keep both numbers through other arrangements, e.g. having two mobile lines.

Further details will be provided from 22 April 2008 on how you may keep both your mobile numbers if you wish to do so.

Do I have to pay to choose which number I wish to retain under Full Mobile Number Portability?

You do not have to pay to choose which number you wish to retain.

How quickly will I be moved from Call-Forwarding to Full Mobile Number Portability?

Existing customers under Call-Forwarding solution will go through a migration period from 30 May to 12 June 2008 and they will be scheduled and moved to the Full Mobile Number Portability solution in batches. However, do understand that this timeframe will be subjected to approval from the original service providers and the volume of migration requests. These have been in place to ensure operational efficiencies and a smooth migration process. Once your original mobile number is on the Full Mobile Number Portability solution and ported over to your StarHub SIM card successfully, you will receive an SMS notification.

Please note that to ensure that your migration process is smooth, you will have to inform StarHub of your decision by 14 May, through the number selection exercise. StarHub will be sending you a letter from 22 April onwards to advise you on the key steps that you would need to take.

What happens when people call the number that I did not choose to migrate?

As you have given up the number, it will no longer be in use. Prior to that, you may want to update your contacts on the number that you prefer to be reached at.

After I drop one of the two numbers previously owned, will there be a facility where callers to the dropped number will be told of my new number, or they simply get a dead line?

The callers will reach a dead line if they contact you on the number you have dropped. We would encourage you to update your contacts on the number that you will be retaining prior to the number change.

Will I experience any missed call or missed SMS/MMS when Full Mobile Number Portability begins?

Will there be any delay in receiving calls/SMS/MMS?Regardless of the number you choose, you will not experience any missed or delayed calls, SMS, or MMS when Full Mobile Number Portability begins.

Will I experience any service disruption during the migration from Call-Forwarding to Full Mobile Number Portability?

For those who choose to retain the original number from their previous service provider, there will be a short period where your callers will not be able to reach you at your original number, when that number is being switched to the Full Mobile Number Portability solution from the current Call-Forwarding solution. This process includes deactivation and activation of the number in the previous and new service providers' networks. Your current StarHub number is still active, and you will be able to make and receive calls and SMS/MMS. All mobile service providers will endeavour to minimise the service disruption during this process.

How will I know that I have been successfully migrated to the Full Mobile Number Portability solution?

You will receive an SMS notification once you have been successfully migrated and hence you can start using your original mobile number from your StarHub SIM card.

Why will I automatically be assigned StarHub Mobile number (N2) if I do not choose otherwise by 14 May?

StarHub will automatically assume your choice to be N2 if you have not submitted your number selection by 14 May, so that migration to the new Full Number Portability solution can proceed.

The StarHub mobile number is set as the default number because customers are likely to use this mobile number after their have previously switched over to StarHub. This number is displayed and presented to the receiving party when you make outgoing calls or send SMS/MMS.
