Spanish company El Corte Ingles has won the tender to implement telephone numeric portability in the DR. This refers to the ability to transfer either an existing fixed-line or mobile telephone number assigned by a local exchange carrier (LEC), and reassign it to another carrier.
In the Dominican Republic, number portability in both mobile and local telephony is planned to start on 30 September 2009. The cost to users for making the transfer would be insignificant, around RD$100.
Jose Rafael Vargas, president of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel) that is in charge of the project, said that the DR will be the fourth Latin American country to offer this option to telecom users, after Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico.
