Yes, with number portability you have the option to stick to the same number irrespective of the network you choose. Quite a good idea. It will be introduced here in India by the beginning of the next year. As for me, I am using the same number since I had a mobilephone and it ends with 007

I think people who interchange numbers lack an element of honesty.  I have a friend who switches numbers like hell. He is always on money scandals I prefer having two phones and two numbers. Id ratherer have the other one in voicemail diverts.

Well that might be true, but lets not generalise. To say that people who frequently change numbers lack "honesty" will be a tad over the top. There must be folks who genuinely have reasons to change numbers. For some, they might simply get bored with the same numbers??

my first two numbers only lasted for less than a year. after that i've finally settled on my latest mumber and having it for three years. in fact i've had three phones that used that number(hopefully it'd come to four soon) and have no intent of changing it since this network has the cheapest data plan, charging per half hour instead of KBs.
EDIT:We can't port numbers as networks here have the rights to their respective codes. eg. smart has the right to have: +63919 - +63921, globe has the right over: +63917 - i'm not sure.

Here in Indonesia, people usually use 2 phones, GSM and CDMA. GSM for receiving call since its have wider coverage, and CDMA for outgoing call since its much more cheaper

I can't really see how anyone can get bored of a number.
besides people who often change there numbers like my friend does are prob giving there number out to people and when things go wrong they change it...

I had the same number for 3 years now. Just upgraded my SIM card's memory from 64K to 128K, but the number is still the same. I have a Globe SIM. 1 thing i don't like is how Internet browsing is charged (0.01 Php/KB = 0.002 USD/KB). My 300Php (about 7USD) credits just took about 25 minutes with roughly 4MB downloaded packets. That was so expensive! I was not really satisfied coz I did not even get what I wanted.
