The AOCN can only do BIRRDS database entries (aka the LERG). Porting is done through the NPAC system, and there are actually several options you can choose from to port a number. If you have your own NXXs assigned to you, you can choose from any of the porting methods below: (Which one you select will depend on how much you plan to port each month). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>NPAC helpdesk - has no monthly fee but costs $15 per port out and $30 per port in </div>
<div>NPAC LTI - you have direct access to the NPAC database for a flat rate and do all the ports yourself (if you port in more than 13 numbers per month it's worthwhile)</div>
<div>Service Bureau - they provide a web interface and you do the ports yourself. They charge a flat rate monthly fee for a minimum number of ports and if you go over the maximum number of ports you pay an additional charge per port.)</div>
<div>3rd Party SOA provider - they apply for the NPAC LTI service on your behalf and issue all the port orders for you</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope that makes the picture a little clearer!</div>

<p>Porting requires concurrence from the losing carrier to complete, which ultimately happens as an LRN update in the NPAC. Companies with direct access to NPAC can do this the quickest, otherwise they contract with an AOCN to handle the NPAC or use a bigger carrier, which can add delays.</p>
<p>So long as you have the correct LSR information when submitting the port, concurrence should happen within a day. Ultimately the losing and gaining carriers both contribute to the turnaround time.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Is there some way to port numbers extremely fast away from major landline providers like Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, etc? I met someone long ago that said they were able to port a number from anywhere in like one business day. If I remember right they mentioned something about being a cellular CLEC or something similar. I know porting in the cellular world is a same day kind of thing, but why not on the landline side?
<div> </div>
<div>Is there some wholesaler out there that doesn't charge and arm and leg to port numbers? </div>
