Local number portability (LNP) processing (the process by which your phone number is transported between carriers when you switch service providers) is a fiercely competitive area in the wireless world. Carriers have been known to delay processing and to market aggressively (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/91809) to customers after receiving a portability request in an attempt to retain customers; however, rules have been put into place to protect the customer in these situations. Those rules may now be extended (http://www.rcrnews.com/article/20080718/FREE/236094973) to landline customers who are interested in retaining the same phone number when discontinuing landline service in favor of cell-only service. The FCC is being urged by both House and Senate to approve a new rule requiring all LNP processing to be complete within 48 hours of the request in order to enhance the customer s experience and to allow for competition in the market.
