Since number portability became an option in July 2013, about 242,000 numbers have been ported, i.e. reassigned to other service providers, according to the National Regulatory Agency on Information and Communications Technology.
The bulk of the ported numbers – 224,000 or 92.5% of the total – were mobile phone numbers. Only 19,000, or 7.5% were landline numbers.
Of the total mobile numbers ported, over 98,000 were reassigned to Moldcell, over 46,000 to Orange, and more than 35,000 to Unité. Of the landline numbers, most were ported to StarNet – 7198, and to Orange – 687.
