Tuma Barua, The tone will only be available for off-net calls.

Regards, On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Wambua, Christopher <[email protected]> wrote: Andrea, Yes, the mobile operators have made provisions. When you call a number that has been ported, you will first hear an audible warning tone (three beeps)before the ring tone or ring back music where applicable. Once the caller picks the call, the off-net tariffs will apply. Apologies for the delayed response. I have been out of town for a while.

Have the mobile operators made any provisions? Does CCK require operators to provide some sort of signal? Or would Dr Ndemo be able to answer?
