DITO MNP: Eligibility, Requirements, How to apply

The Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is now commercially available in the Philippines. We already discussed the porting requirements for Globe and Smart, now it’s time to take a look at the MNP requirements for DITO Telecommunity.

A quick refresher on MNP

Mobile Number Portability or MNP is a global practice that allows mobile phone customers to keep their number even when they switch networks or change subscriptions from postpaid to prepaid and vice versa. In the Philippines, it’s in accordance with Republic Act No. 11202, or the Mobile Number Portability Act. Number porting is a free service.

With DITO’s MNP, you can choose to do number porting in 2 ways: internal and external. Internal porting means going from a prepaid DITO plan to a postpaid DITO plan. External porting means shifting from your mother network to an outside network or vice versa. Please note that you will be able to keep your current mobile number even when you switch networks.
