Number Portability in Antigua and Barbuda Set for June 2025
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.
