“Mobile slavery” is the phenomenon when a subscriber of one mobile operator cannot switch to another, since he will have to change his number. Recently, “slavery” was abolished, and maintaining the same number became possible regardless of whether you changed your mobile phone provider. The material discusses how to switch to another operator while maintaining the number.
Transfer from another operator while maintaining your number (MNP)
The MNP service (Mobile Number Portability; mobile number transfer) allows you to change your telecom operator while retaining your mobile number (federal).
If you are a representative of the subscriber: you additionally need a notarized power of attorney from the owner of the number.
Write an application for transfer to MTS and receive a transfer to which your current number will be transferred.
Next, your current operator will check that the data about the owner of the number matches and that there are no blocks. The date must be indicated in the application for number transfer. If this is not done, the number will be transferred on the eighth day after the conclusion of the contract.

What to do if the ported number is cancelled?
One of the most difficult situations is when a subscriber has successfully transferred the number of another operator to the MegaFon network. Then, for example, I went into a slight minus, abandoned the SIM card and forgot about it for six months. After 180 days, the SIM card was automatically canceled.
All MNP numbers are returned to the operators to whom they previously belonged. If up to 7 days have passed since the cancellation, then you can still have time to restore the number from the current operator (in this case it is Megafon). If more than a week has passed, the number has returned to its original operator in the archive storage. You need to contact him for restoration. However, recovery is not guaranteed.
How much does it cost to switch to another operator while keeping the number on Tele2
The former operator does not need to write additional statements. The contract with him ceases to be valid automatically; there is no special procedure for its closure. If there is money left in the account, it will not be burned, and to return it, you need to come to the office of the previous operator with your passport.

Understanding this problem, operators come up with more favorable tariffs and thus try to compete with each other for subscribers’ money. For example, Tinkoff Mobile has an individual tariff constructor, using which I can clearly determine how much traffic, minutes and services I need.
Remember
Is it possible to choose a new number as the main one in Tinkoff Mobile and make the old one virtual?
I switched from Megafon to Tele2, since the first one has draconian prices. Both numbers with which I transferred were registered in my name, but a long time ago, my passport details have changed, so I first went to Megafon to change my passport details. I don’t know how, but the “miracle” employees filled out everything correctly in one contract, but in the second they messed up with the passport number! I came a second time, saying, change it correctly, and immediately clarified: “How can I make sure that the data is entered into the system correctly?” They told the girl intern: “Please print out the contract for her.” While I was checking the contract, they rudely said to me, “Are you done?”, and instead of focusing on checking the data, I hastened to complain to the hotline. And in vain: as it turned out, they made a mistake in the data for the second time, and I had to go back a third time to change the data! Therefore, I would add a few more “remember” (sub)points to the article: . 2.1 If you update your passport data with the operator, be sure to ask to print out the contract in order to verify the data entered into the system. 2.2 Be sure to check the contract details with your passport details, no matter how much you are rushed/rude/had no time/laziness. . And in between going to the offices to enter the correct data, Megafon called, offered an almost similar tariff with a 50% discount, said what dubious conditions and prices the operator where I was going to go was offering unnecessary and expensive goodies.
I spent 13 years on Tele2 because it was cheap. Switched to MTS. It turned out that you can also make calls in the elevator, entrance and metro.
Tinkoff Mobile is also Tele2, by the way. be careful
