FEATURED FAQS

 * What is the LNPA WG? What is the LNPA WG?
   
   The LNPA WG (Local Number Portability Administration Working Group) is a
   subcommittee of the NANC (North American Numbering Council), an advisory body
   to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).  The LNPA WG was formed at
   the behest of the FCC to develop technical requirements for the centralized
   data base approach to local number portability.

 * Who administers the NPAC? Who administers the NPAC?
   
   Neustar is the NPAC Administrator for Canada.
   
   Neustar is no longer the Local Number Portability Administrator for the
   United States. If you are a Law Enforcement or Public Safety agency in the
   U.S. and need access to look up telephone numbers, please contact the current
   administrator – iconectiv – at https://lawenforcement.numberportability.com/.
   
   
   
   If you are an entity that needs to register as a phone carrier or provider of
   telecommunications related services for the United States, please contact
   iconectiv at 844-820-8039. Thank you.

 * What responsibilities does the NPAC have? What responsibilities does the NPAC
   have?
   
   The primary responsibilities of the NPAC include:
   
    *  Data Administration: Ported telephone number data administration, service
      provider network data administration and audit administration
    *  Mass Changes: Area code (NPA) splits and LRN transfers
    *  Billing and Cost Appointment

 * What does LNP accomplish? What does LNP accomplish?
    * LNP allows a consumer to keep their current telephone number (TN) when
      moving to another local communications service provider (both the old
      service provider and new service provider must be LNP-capable).  The
      service arrangement using the TN at the new SP is associated with same
      rate area as was the service arrangement at the old communications service
      provider.
   
    * LNP allows a wireline communications service provider to offer services,
      such as foreign wire center (aka "soft FX"), through switch translations
      when the service offering formerly required physical extension of the
      customer's loop.
   
    * LNP increases competition among local communications service providers.

 * Why was LNP introduced? Why was LNP introduced?
   
   LNP was introduced to further increase competition in the local telephone
   service arena. Studies indicated increased consumer willingness to change
   communications service providers if their telephone numbers could be
   retained.
