Decisions / Recommendations
The following high-level process is recommended as a guide to assist in determining the cause of post-port call routing issues.

Process

1. Customer ports number

2. Customer reports problem making and/or receiving some phone calls since porting to the New Service Provider (NSP).

3. New Network Service Provider (NNSP) checks to ensure that the NPAC active subscription version (SV) data is correct.

4. NSP reports the problem to the Telco that is routing calls with incorrect LRN (SCP/STP is discrepant with NPAC).

5. These issues are reported to the Telco’s Network Operations Center (NOC).

6. Both Telco’s work together to identify and correct the problem.

7. Telco will notify to the reporting Telco when the problem has been found and corrected.

8. NSP may notify the customer that the problem has been corrected.

For an additional guide to troubleshooting in a multiple service provider environment, the following link will access the ATIS Network Interconnection Interoperability Forum’s (NIIF’s) Guidelines for Reporting Local Number Portability Troubles in a Multiple Service Provider Environment.
