(229a) In the case of number-based interpersonal communications services, there are significant price differences between national communications and those terminating in a different Member State, on both the mobile and the fixed network. Those differences should be eliminated unless the supplier shows that they are due to objective differences in costs.

Recital 251
(251) Number portability is a key facilitator of consumer choice and effective competition in competitive markets for electronic communications and shouldmust be implemented with the minimum delay, so that the number is functionally activated within one working day and the user does not experience a loss of service lasting longer than one working day. In order to facilitate a one-stop-shop enabling a seamless switching experience for end- users, the switching process should be led by the receiving provider of electronic communications to the public. National regulatory authorities may prescribe the global process of the porting of numbers, taking into account national provisions on contracts and technological developments. Those provisions must not limit the right to number portability and should also allow users to change the assigned number without changing the associated SIM card. Experience in certain Member States has shown that there is a risk of consumers being switched to another provider without having given their consent. While that is a matter that should primarily be addressed by law enforcement authorities, Member States should be able to impose such minimum proportionate measures regarding the switching process, including appropriate sanctions, as are necessary to minimise such risks, and to ensure that consumers are protected throughout the switching process without making the process less attractive for them.
