Local Number Portability Code – Open for Review Comments

Communications Alliance is seeking comments for a scheduled review of the C540:2013 Local Number Portability - Incorporating Variation No.1/2016 Industry Code.

The Code sets out inter-Carrier/CSP operational procedures for the implementation of Local Number Portability processes.

The aims of the review are to identify:

• any existing issues with the Code;
• whether any process improvement is required, from operational experience in dealing with the Code;
• any gaps in the Code;
• clarifications that improve requirements;
• whether the document is meeting the needs of industry and the community satisfactorily;
• expected impact of technology changes; and
• whether a need exists to amend, reconfirm or withdraw the Code.

The Code can be downloaded from here.

There are also a number of operational Guidelines which accompany the Code. These should be considered to determine if amendments are required.

You can use the Submit Comments form to submit your comments, submit via email or go to the Contact Us webpage to obtain other contact methods such as by post.

All submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Friday 20th August 2021. Submissions received will be made publicly available on the Communications Alliance website unless the submitter requests otherwise.
