Magic Jack - Local number portability
1
In September of 2011 magicJack began
offering local number portability, with
an annual fee to keep the ported-in
number. This allows customers to keep
their existing phone number when
switching to magicJack. MagicJack
charges its customers to transfer their
telephone number out of their MagicJack
telephone service into a different
telephone service provider. Not all US
area codes are available.

Local number portability
'Local number portability' (LNP) for
landline|fixed lines, and 'full mobile
number portability' (FMNP) for mobile
phone lines, refers to the ability of a
customer of record of an existing fixedline or mobile telephone number
assigned by a local exchange carrier
(LEC) to reassign the number to another
carrier (Service Provider Portability),
move it to another location (Geographic
Portability), or change the type of
service (Service Portability).

In most cases, there are limitations to

In the United States and Canada,
mobile number portability is referred
to simply as WNP or WLNP (Wireless

the rest of the world it is referred to as
mobile number portability (MNP).

Wireless Number Portability is
available in some parts of Africa,
Asia, Australia, Latin America and
most European countries including
Britain; however, this relates to
transferability between mobile phone
lines only. Canada, South Africa and
the United States are the only
countries that offer full number
portability transfers between both
fixed lines and mobile phone lines,

because mobile and fixed line numbers are
mixed in the same area codes, and are billed
identically for the calling party, the mobile
user usually pays for incoming calls; in other
countries all mobile numbers are placed in
higher priced mobile-dedicated area codes
and the originator of the call to the mobile
phone pays for the call. The government of
Hong Kong has tentatively approved fixedmobile number portability; however, as of July
2012, this service is not yet available.

Local number portability - History
1
Though it was introduced as a tool to
promote competition in the heavily
monopolized landline|wireline
telecommunications industry, number
portability became popular with the
advent of mobile telephones, since in
most countries different mobile
operators are provided with different
area codes and, without portability,
changing one's operator would require
changing one's number
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - History
In the US, the FCC has
wikt:mandate|mandated this in order to
increase competition among providers. As of
late November 2003, LNP was required for all
landline and wireless common carriers, so
long as the number is being ported to the
same geographical area or telephone
exchange. This latest mandate included
carriers outside the top 100 MSAs that
previously enjoyed a rural carrier exemption.

Local number portability - Portability schemes

There are four main methods to
route a number whose operator
has changed.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - All Call Query (ACQ)
1
The operator that originates the call
always check a centralized database
and obtains the route to the call.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - All Call Query (ACQ)
The originating
operator then routes
the call to Serving
Network.
1
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - Query on Release (QoR)
1
The operator that originates the call
first checks with the operator to which
the number initially belonged, the
donor operator. The donor operator
verifies the call and informs that it no
longer possesses the number. The
operator that originates the call then
checks the centralized database, as is
done with ACQ.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - Call Dropback
1
Also known as Return to Pivot (RoP). The
operator that originates the call first
checks with the donor operator. The donor
operator checks its own database and
provides a new route. The operator that
originates the call then uses this route to
forward the call. No central database is
consulted.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-local-number-portability-toolkit.html
Local number portability - Onward Routing (OR)
The operator that originates the call
routes the call to the donor operator.
The donor operator checks its own
database and obtains a new route. The
operator to which the number was
designated routes the call to the new
operator. This model is called indirect
routing.

Local number portability - Technical issues
In cellular communications the
concept of a location registry exists to
tie a “mobile station” (such as a

number is dialed it is necessary to be
able to determine where in the
network the mobile station exists.
Some mechanism for such forwarding
must exist. (For an example of such a
system, see the article on the GSM

A fax machine connected to its own physical

may have two or three numbers with a fax or

unsubscribe the entire line, disconnecting
the secondary numbers without moving them

Numbers are only portable within a LIR
(local interconnection region), regions
defined by the ILEC and approved by the
Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC), each of which cover a number of
exchanges. Each LIR has a Point of
Interconnection (POI) exchange through
which calls are routed, and if a number
is ported out to a different LIR then calls
to that destination will be rejected by the
POI switch.

Not all exchanges support LNP, typically
there needs to exist competition within an
exchange before an ILEC will enable
portability, and then only by request. Most
small local independent telephone
company exchanges are exempted from
competition and local number portability
requirements. Numbers in the rarely-used
non-geographic area code 600 are not

Local number portability - Spain
As for the fixed line market, number
portability is also available since year
2000, but weaker competition meant that
actual adoption of the fixed number
portability process was quite sluggish. As
of August 2004, 1,041,246 fixed line
switches were
completed.[http://www.consumer.es/web/e

Fixed line market is peculiar in Spain,
since only two local loop providers can
operate at each particular region (or
demarcación as regulated by the CMT): a
cable modem|cable carrier (such as Ono,
R and many others) and the former State
monopoly (Telefónica)

Local number portability - Spain
Due to the billing scheme used in the
Spanish phone call market, where the
calling party assumes the full cost of the
call, and calling a cellphone is usually
more expensive than calling a fixed line, a
distinction must be made between
cellphone numbers (beginning with 6 or,
from October 2011, 71, 72, 73 or 74, ) and
fixed numbers (usually beginning with 9 or
8)

For service providers who require
knowledge of porting activity to
enable them to deliver voice calls
directly to the current network owner,
they can either form agreements with
all of the fixed-line operators, or use a
third-party LNP provider, such as

Local number portability - New Zealand
1
In New Zealand, local and mobile number
portability (LMNP) began on April 1, 2007.
The rules governing LMNP originate in the
Number Portability Determination. Ports are
authorised, scheduled, and coordinated via a
centralised number portability system called
IPMS (Industry Portability Management
System). All networks update their own
routing and confirm this to IPMS. There are
now 26 carriers and service providers that
participate in LMNP in New Zealand, over a
million numbers have been ported.
