<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My understanding is that the winning
carrier submits the subscription, issues an electronic WPR
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.syniverse.com/files/Single_Line_WPR.pdf">https://www.syniverse.com/files/Single_Line_WPR.pdf</a>) - similar to
an LSR. The losing carrier verifies the WPR's accuracy
(TN/PIN/Address/Zip) and issues a confirmation and concurrence,
and then the winning carrier electronically activates in SOA.<br>
<br>
Given this is 100% electronic (and all the majors use Syniverse
for their SOA) it's immediate. Wireless carriers don't really have
to worry about things like "do they have complex services like
DSL, FTTH with bundle packaging, etc". They just drop the
customer's subscriber information out of the switch and send a
final bill.<br>

<div>I really wonder if the big wireless carriers follow the same
process that wireline carriers do because the typical wireline
process takes more than 5 minutes to complete. The whole process
is:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Issue an LSR order to the losing carrier requesting the
port.</div>
<div>2. When you get confirmation, submit the port request in NPAC
(or a SOA system connected to NPAC)</div>
<div>3. Losing carrier confirms the port</div>
<div>4. Winning carrier accepts the port</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The greatest portion of time is spent on getting the losing
carrier to accept the LSR and give confirmation, so I'm thinking
these wireless carriers must have agreements set up between them
that allows them to bypass the LSR process and just complete the
NPAC work!</div>

<div>I actually ported my personal cell number to Verizon from

<div>Gave the rep my ATT account number, He 30 seconds later
asked me for the PIN I set on my ATT account. I provided and
my number was working before I hit the door on the way out.
Total port time was <5 Min.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I questioned the Rep if this was always the case and he
said only if porting from Sprint/ATT/T-Mobile. And that
basically any other carrier (Not including MVNO's of the

current wireline porting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I figure they all exchange so many numbers a day it was in
all of their best interest to work together.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not to mention, By automating the process. They don't
have to keep an entire call center worth of LNP personnel to
handle their volume.</div>

<div>I think the incentive is to cooperate because it is a
relatively small group of wireless carriers compared to
wireline.
<div> </div>
<div>The main reason being that they don't want their ports
held up, so they work well with others.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also since there is a small group they could automate
the back office processes between them and submit the
request and aknowledgment quickly and without human
interaction.</div>

political incentive wireless carriers have to cooperate
in relatively<br>
seamless porting to/from each other.<br>
