BRIDGEWATER, N.J. – December 10, 2018 – Vietnam is the latest country to provide the choice and convenience of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) to its residents with the rollout of a national solution on November 16, 2018.

The Vietnam Telecommunications Authority () selected () to deploy Vietnam’s first MNP solution using ���Ƕ���Ƶ’s TruNumber Portability Clearinghouse. FPT worked closely with ���Ƕ���Ƶ—the authoritative partner of the global communications industry and number portability expert—to deliver the MNP solution, bringing additional convenience and choice to the Vietnam’s 120 million-plus mobile subscribers.

MNP allows consumers to retain their phone number when switching mobile service providers. In addition to convenience for subscribers, this increases competition among mobile service providers seeking to retain or increase their subscribers—often resulting in competitive pricing, improved network coverage, enhanced services and improved customer care. It is also an essential element of a service provider’s business case and is key to creating additional revenue per customer.

“Through the proven experience in successful implementations of top-tier solutions from FPT IS and ���Ƕ���Ƶ, Vietnam’s consumers will now experience the convenience of maintaining their mobile phone numbers while being able to move more freely between mobile service providers as they wish,” said Mr. Nguyen Phong Nha, Deputy Director General, VNTA, the government regulatory body of Vietnam’s telecommunications industry.

“FPT IS is proud to be the leading IT company in Vietnam; we have more than 15 years of experience in providing technology solutions for the telecommunication sector. We appreciate the opportunity to serve the VNTA and the residents of Vietnam, and are working diligently with our partner, ���Ƕ���Ƶ, the market leader in number portability solutions, to ensure the speedy and seamless, phased rollout in Vietnam” said Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of FPT IS.

“It is an honor to deliver this mobile number portability solution to the Vietnamese people, that will provide a simple and easy process whenever subscribers wish to move to another mobile service provider,” said Mr. Richard Jacowleff, President and CEO, ���Ƕ���Ƶ. “This and other recent agreements in Southeast Asia expand ���Ƕ���Ƶ’s footprint in the region and demonstrate the trust these countries have in our ability to efficiently deliver a quality solution at scale.”

In addition to Vietnam, number portability solutions from ���Ƕ���Ƶ and its subsidiaries have been implemented worldwide, including in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Greece, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, U.A.E., and the U.S.
