Uses
Do you want to meet your customer demand for mobile number portability?
Remember that the portability of mobile numbers is regulated by ARCEP and managed by the Portability Management Entity (EGP, Entité de Gestion de la Portabilité) joint venture. This entity is responsible for managing the reference base of ported numbers and the EGP inter-carrier portability Platform
The EGP joint venture is also responsible for coordinating and relaying information between the different carriers involved in the porting operations.
Orange is a member of the EGP joint venture and as a result complies with its technical, pricing and operational obligations.
