Number porting. It seems so simple.
In the Netherlands, there are about two million people who switch telecom providers every year. This is very simple. If your subscription expires and you see that you are cheaper elsewhere, you simply arrange a new subscription with another provider and indicate that you would like to keep your number. This is very convenient for your existing contacts. As simple as it may seem from the front, a lot has to happen behind the scenes to make it possible for you to take your number with you from one provider to another.
