C570:2009 Mobile Number Portability

C570:2009 (.pdf, 442KB)

The Industry Code has been developed to specify the procedural arrangements required to Port a Mobile Service Number between Carriage Service Providers, where there is a change in Mobile Carrier network. Elements of the Industry Code could be utilised by Carriers and Carriage Service Providers in other customer transfer scenarios. Carriers and Carriage Service Providers (including long distance CSPs) must fulfil their routing obligations under the Numbering Plan. This Industry Code provides for automated interfaces between Mobile Carriers/Carriage Service Providers to support Mobile Number Portability in the distribution of routing information.

Revision

The Code was revised in 2009 to introduce a Port Recovery process to better enable recovery of ported mobile numbers involving multiple CSPs to the correct Customer, and to remove references to CDMA technology and make the Code more technology neutral.
