[VoiceOps] Abandoned Ported Numbers

Fri Oct 14 11:19:25 EDT 2022

How would the original carrier know? I've never seen anything about numbers being returned to us. Maybe my employees are ignoring them, maybe the emails are lost, maybe we have to fetch it from somewhere.

I know the LNP coordinator in our company occasionally sends out "NPAC Disconnects" spreadsheets of numbers that have been returned to us, so presumably this is an NPAC process.

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.

You don't often get email from voiceops at ics-il.net . Learn why this is important 	

How does that work?

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?
