COAI and its members reportedly have a difference in stance on the issue of number portability. While COAI has opposed the move, Bharti Airtel and Spice Communications have welcomed it.

Bharti is also in favour of extending the facility countrywide.

While RCOM believes that GSM operators will face real competition for the first time in the four metros, Bharti claims that number portability will increase their margins, as they will get highvalue customers.
