Tool Introduction
"Mobile Number Portability Query" is a convenient online tool designed to help users quickly query detailed information about mobile numbers. You only need to enter an 11-digit Chinese mainland mobile number to get the number's attribution (region), the original operator (original ISP), the current service provider (current ISP), and determine whether the number has undergone number portability and whether it belongs to a virtual operator. This tool is particularly suitable for users who need to understand changes in mobile number service providers and identify the true attribution of a number.
What is Number Portability?
Number portability, also known as Mobile Number Portability (MNP), refers to the ability of users to switch from one mobile communication operator's network (such as China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom) to another mobile communication operator's network service without changing their mobile number (i.e., "number unchanged"). This service aims to enhance user choice and promote market competition. After successful number portability, the user's mobile number remains unchanged, but their service provider and the packages, service rules, etc., they enjoy will change accordingly. Understanding whether a number has been ported can help users more accurately determine its attribution and package suitability, for example, to identify the true operator of a marketing call.
