Number portability

First of all, you need to edit the SMS first, CXXZ# user name #ID number, and then send it to the corresponding operator to check if the number you are using has the qualification. 

 

If you confirm that your number can be transferred to other operators, you need to continue to edit SMS SQXZ# user name #ID number, and then send it to the corresponding operator to get your authorization code, then you carry the ID card and authorization code to the offline business hall that you want to transfer to to handle the business.

For Example

I am a user of China Mobile. I want to transfer the number to China Unicom. First, I will edit a text message CXXZ#XXX#XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and send it to 10086. 

After confirming, I can send SMS SQXZ#XXX#XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX to 10086 to obtain the authorization code. Finally, I took the ID card and SMS authorization code to go to the business hall of China Unicom to handle the number portability.

However, the port number transfer service is currently only piloted in: 

  • Tianjin, 

  • Hainan, 

  • Jiangxi, 

  • Hubei,

  • Yunnan. 

And it will not be popularized until the end of next year.
