Antigua and Barbuda’s long-awaited number portability service is now expected to be implemented by the end of the year, despite missing its initial June deadline.
Information Minister Melford Nicholas said delays were largely due to challenges faced by the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA), which is still finalising its part of the transition.
Speaking on state media this week, Nicholas explained that while Digicel and Flow are ready to proceed, APUA encountered setbacks, including the loss of a key consultant and competing project priorities.
“They had to regroup after the passing of their lead consultant, which caused a six-month delay. A replacement is now on board, and APUA is working with a new consultant to push the project forward,” Nicholas said.
He noted that regular updates are being provided and estimated that full implementation could be achieved within three months.
Number portability will allow customers to switch mobile providers without changing their phone numbers, increasing competition and consumer choice in the telecoms sector.CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT’S APP GROUP

Move ya incompetent rasshole!

But ya pan dis one subn for years now.
Move ya sc*nt!
This is the way I monies from Digicel and flow when I threatened number portability, and at APUA I have the managers defer wireless internet by APUA to give Digicel an flow and ACT to control that space while we limit APUA to wire line internet.
Like we had the a manager at APUA ostensibly destroyed the power station to let the lone Syrian family provide power to Apua customers.
“…despite missing its initial June deadline.”… Initial??!!! ANR please do some proper research and advise us on how many deadlines have already Died..
Maaaann… can anything get done/completed/ratified/concluded…in Antigua? How long has this BALSTED project has been going on…JESAS MAN MELFORD!!!???
This change will finally force the providers to step up. If service is bad, customers can leave without hassle. That’s real competition.
Missed deadlines should come with accountability. It’s good we’ll get two-week updates, but will the public see them too? Still optimistic after June came and went? Let’s not drag this into 2026. We want dates, not just forecasts.
If I read a story about number portability one more time I will run naked in the streets of st johns and show my red bottom to everyone.
The public is the victim of another example of incompetence and lack of accountability in the GOAB and its predecessors.
As the Government talks about Ai at UWI Five Islands which it knows very little and nothing about; it struggles with a 30 year old technology of porting cell phone numbers from carrier to another.
@Ben Simmons, 😮🤣I thought Rite People 🙃 had pink bottom’s and only Cardi B has “red bottom.”
