[VoiceOps] Abandoned Ported Numbers

[Greg Stone]

It's been a long time since I've used NPAC personally but there is a cancel button if I recall correctly and it pushes the number back to the original pooling carrier.

Common practice is to age them out and then push them back to the original block holder.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Say a subscriber ports a number to/from a different telco.  Then, after
some time, the subscriber decides they no longer want the phone number
(or phone service in general).  What should be done with this abandoned
number?

Should the number immediately be returned to the donor telco?

Should the number be returned to the donor telco after aging?

Is it permissible for the recipient telco to add this number to their
inventory and then re-assign the number to a different subscriber?
