Mobile number portability in Kuwait by end of April

KUNA

Kuwaiti mobile phone users will be able to switch their numbers to their desired network providers as of the end of April, after a Ministry of Communications official made the announcement on Wednesday.

The move should provide "flexibility and maneuverability" for the consumer in the country's telecommunications market, the ministry's newly-assigned Undersecretary Hameed Al-Qattan said in a statement.

The ministry intends to complete a number of important projects in the future namely a railway network, an underground metro system and a telecommunications authority, all of which have been given deadlines, he added. n me
