Decisions / Recommendations

This is the solution only when a carrier has not or is unable to use the recommended cancel process as documented in the NANC Process Flows.

 Most wireless carriers have agreed to follow the following two scenarios.  Other carriers can have different intervals and processes for determining when a port is abandoned.  Those carrier’s business rules for identifying an abandoned port and when and how they will purge the abandoned port from their records will be posted on their LNP web sites.

 Scenario 1 – This scenario applies to the service providers that use the NPAC activation notice before disconnecting the porting end using customer.  When the Old Service Provider (OSP) has confirmed the port request but does not receive an activation notice from NPAC, they can consider the port request abandoned 30 calendar days after the due date. In a similar process, the NPAC purges pending Subscription Versions (SVs) 30 days after their due dates have passed.

 Scenario 2 - The OSP has responded to a port request with a Resolution Required requiring subsequent activity from the NSP. If no subsequent activity has been received within 30 calendar days, then the port may be considered abandoned.
