Therefore, it is no doubt crucial for service provider of cell phone to possess profound understanding on why one client stay with one provider or leave them to move to another. The purposes of this research are to know whether there are any positive effects of push and pull factors to the clients’ intention to migrate; and the negative effects of mooring factors to people’s attitude to do so. Furthermore, this research also discusses whether there are any negative effects of mooring factors to the relationship between push effects and clients’ intention to migrate. Likewise the drawbacks of mooring effects related to the pull effects and clients’ intention to migrate. This research is conducted among 230 economic students of Economic Faculty of University of Indonesia who have used GSM cell phone providers for at least six months. Most of the result obtained from this research supported the idea that there is a negative effect of mooring factors to the intentions to migrate. On the other hand, the data does not approve that there is a positive effect of push and pull factors to client’s intention to migrate. Neither, in addition, do they support the notion that there is a negative effect of mooring effects towards relationship between pull effects and people’s intention to migrate.
