Golan Telecom Accuses Rivals of Blocking Number Portability Requests

Published on: 27th May 2012

­New Israeli mobile network, Golan Telecom has accused its incumbent rivals of blocking Mobile Number Portability requests by customers looking to migrate to its network.

The networks dismissed the allegations, although the Communications Ministry did intervene to verify the identification procedures that the networks are required to follow.

One operator, Pelephone was also accused of requiring that Golan Telecom furnish the customer with a working SIM Card before it would port the number to the new network.

"In view of the Ministry of Communications' promise to Pelephone an hour ago to immediately intervene in the matter of identification verification during Golan Telecom's mobility process," the Ministry said in a statement.
