Service Portability
» The ability to retain the telephone number when switching from one
telecom service to another (Fixed->Mobile)
Location (or Geographic) Portability
» The ability to retain the telephone number when moving from one
physical location to another
» Refers to porting of a geographic number from one location to
another

Key Requirements for Number Portability
Routing Number Standards / Recommendations
» ITU-T Recommendation Q.769.1 (1999)
− Signalling system No. 7 – ISDN user part enhancements for the support of
Number Portability.
» ITU-T Recommendation Q.850 (1998)
− Usage of cause and location in the digital subscriber signalling system
No. 7 ISDN user part.
» ITU-T Q-series Recommendations - Supplement 5
− Number Portability – Capability Set 2 Requirements for service provider

NP Constituencies and Their Roles
Government/Regulators
• Laws; requirements; high-level implementation schedules
• Policies & regulations need to be clear, practical & enforceable
NP Clearinghouse
• Neutral, trusted party to facilitate and coordinate amongst competing operators
• Master routing database; porting management; porting data download; dispute
resolution, audit and reporting
• Experienced & proven CSMS provider is critical
Consumers
• End-users and main beneficiaries of MNP services
• Consumer awareness and public education is needed

Pros Cons
• No involvement of Donor network • Requires Centralized DB
• Efficient call routing, uses Centralized DB • High initial Set-up costs
• Enables seamless use of services e.g. SMS, MMS, ENUM, Data/IP
• Donor network does not incur costs in call routing
• Less operational costs
• Long-term solution
Number Portability Technical Solutions
Indirect or Inter-dependent Routing (Donor network involved
in call routing)
» Onward Routing
− Originating network routes the call to Donor network
− Donor network determines the right Terminating network
− Donor network routes the call to the Terminating network
» Query on Release
− Originating network routes the call to Donor network
− Donor network determines the number is ported and returns this indication
− Originating network determines the right destination for the number by querying the
DB
− Originating network routes the call to the Terminating network
» Call Drop-back
− Originating network routes the call to Donor network
− Donor network determines the number is ported and the right Terminating network
− Donor network returns this indication of Terminating network to Originating network
and releases the call
− Originating network routes the call to the Terminating network

Pros Cons
• Simple implementation, no Centralized DB needed • Inefficient call routing (originating to donor n/w
• Donor network can setup its own databases and donor to recipient n/w call setup needed)
• Lower setup costs • High operational costs
• Short-term solution • Donor network incurs call routing costs
