The DR could be among the first countries in Latin America to offer phone number portability, which would allow cell phone users to keep the same phone number, even if they decide to change service providers. The information was provided by Gabriela Lago, Vice President of Telcordia, which is part of the Organization of American States (OAS). Listin Diario reports that INDOTEL has already approved the measure, which could go into effect as early as next year. This offer would be applied to home phones as well. Mexico has already approved the program and should begin its implementation some time in 2008. The DR and Brazil have plans to implement number portability in 2009 and Peru should have it in place by 2010.
