Prime Minister says cell phone number portability scheduled for June (file photo)
Antigua and Barbuda’s long-awaited implementation of number portability has been postponed until June 2025. Prime Minister Gaston Browne made the announcement, revealing that telecommunications minister Melford Nicholas provided this update.
Number portability allows residents to switch mobile network carriers without changing their phone numbers, offering users greater flexibility and choice in their telecommunications services.
The government has been in discussions with the country’s three primary mobile carriers, INET, Digicel, and Flow, to finalize the necessary arrangements for this transition.
As the new June 2025 roll-out date approaches, many hope the additional time will facilitate a smoother implementation process.
Please sir when it happens come and tell us. We are patiently waiting. Waiting very long. Since 2007 we have been hearing about the same thing. Come on
I thought that was already in. Was saying that i didnt get signed up yet!
That’s such a bummer! I was really looking forward to number portability happening sooner. But I guess waiting until June 2025 isn’t the worst thing. That’s because we have been waiting for a very long time. And if this happens then it’ll be awesome to have more freedom with our phone numbers! Can’t wait to finally switch carriers without all the hassle! 😩📱
Wake me up when it happens. Thank you Mr PM
Lol. I’ve been hearing about this for yearssssss now let me see what happens when June comes around
