Also the company has reportedly tested Mobile Number Portability (MNP) facility among its own employees in Kolkata.
With the MNP facility, the company will target customers from rival networks who are currently paying a lot for mobile data services. MNP will solve the handset compatibility, which was a hindrance to Jio’s plan to disrupt post-paid segment.
