What is remote number portability?

Remote Number Portability (RNP) is a telecommunications service that allows users to retain their existing phone numbers when switching between service providers, even if the change occurs over long distances or across different regions. This process ensures customers experience minimal disruption during provider transitions and helps maintain consistent contact information. RNP typically requires coordination between the old and new service providers to transfer the number securely and efficiently. The service is especially important for businesses and individuals who rely on their phone numbers for continuity of communication.
