On January 20, some users in the Communication People's Home Forum found that Baidu Search can now also search for operators after mobile phone numbers are transferred. Since the launch of the number porting service, many users have wanted to change operators in order to obtain more affordable packages or signal quality.
In the past, the operator of the platform retrieving mobile phone number was judged by the combination of numbers of mobile phone numbers, such as 176, which began with China Unicom. However, since the popularity of the number portability service, this mechanism of judging operators through digital combinations has begun to work, and the search platform can detect the owner of the number portability, which is good news for mobile phone users.
It is worth mentioning that some netizens also found that the mobile phone recharge in the Jingdong App can also detect the corresponding carrier ownership of the transfer number. At present, whether it is a phone call or a text message, the transfer number must first go through the original operator and then transfer to the porting operator, which has an additional step in the middle of the process, which means that the communication such as telephone and SMS is slower than the number before the number portability.
Of course, the operator who carries the transfer number incorrectly on the platform does not bring inconvenience to various daily operations such as charging the user's phone bill, sending and receiving verification codes. The business of number portability itself is full of troubles, if you have to "suffer" after the transfer, the user experience designation is not much better.
Xiao Lei learned that the search platform can correctly display the home of the carrying number and the operator information, there may be two methods, one is through big data, smart platform and other multi-party real-time update, the other is that the operator opened the relevant query interface. In any case, there will be errors and delays in the update of information such as big data, but operators open interfaces or have a common number management library, and carrying and transferring numbers can get the same experience as ordinary numbers.
In addition to Baidu search, Jingdong recharge, WeChat, Alipay and other large platforms can correctly identify the home of the transfer number, but some netizens said that apps such as Flush cannot be identified at present, and even require users to reply with SMS to allow the platform to identify the home after the transfer, which is really a bit troublesome.
As for Baidu Search, it is not clear how Baidu Search can identify the origin of the portable number, but in general, the number porting users can also have the same experience as ordinary telephone numbers. A more perfect carrying package may also promote the motivation of users to carry numbers to the network.
