All cellular phone customers in Costa Rica can remain calm. If you wish to change your telephone service company, you will not lose the number you have now.
The requirement will put in place by the Superintendent of Telecommunications (Sutel by its initials in Spanish) for all new phone service providers coming into the country to compete with the National Electricity Institute (ICE by its initials in Spanish.)
The number portability statement is one of the things Sutel wants to establish. This right is included in the Final Consumer Protection Regulation.
So if a customer wants to switch from the ICE to a private company or vice versa, the companies must ensure that the customer will keep the same number.
Members of the Sutel indicated that the technology already exists to do this, so what’s left is only to establish how they will integrate the cellular line databases.
Currently, not being able to transfer the number would lead many customers not to change companies because they would lose the number they have used for so long. This is what two experts who were invited by Sutel presented to the Federal Communications Commission in the United States.
Although the ICE in Costa Rica had actually promised to do this several years ago, it never did, which is why so many customers continue to have TDMA technology and have not moved over to GSM.
What we hope in TicosLand.com is that the process to move from a company and keep the number will not involve having to wait a long time to do so; with this we mean that if an application is made to switch, we should not have to wait days or weeks to get it done because it would end up defeating the purpose of having competition which is to give services immediately.
Ticosland.com invites you to learn more about Costa Rica in our internal blogs and forums.
