Overall figure at the end.

 
If numbers are anything to go by, mobile number portability (MNP) has not made much of a dent in the fortunes of most telecom companies, as only about 4 million out of 771 million users have dumped their operators in the first five months of the much-vaunted initiative.
 
While Vodafone, Bharti and Idea gained significantly from the roll-out of MNP on January 20, Reliance Communications (RCom) bore the brunt of the switch.
 
Vodafone is the biggest gainer from MNP, with a net gain of 5,13,259 consumers (14,35,101 port-ins and 9,21,842 port-outs), followed by Bharti with a net gain of 5,06,828 (15,72,682 port-ins and 10,65,254 port-outs). Idea was third with a net gain of 4,70,986 (11,62,594 port-ins and 6,91,608 port-outs).
 
State-run BSNL cuts a sorry figure with a net loss of 4,09,028 users -- the second highest -- shows the COAI data submitted to sectoral watchdog Trai.
