This document is intended as an aid in reporting and resolving troubles involving Local Number Portability. Due to the complexity of LNP, problem resolution can involve ILECs, CLECs, IXCs and Wireless Carriers, as well as 3rd party Database and Service Bureau Providers. This service relies almost exclusively on network element provisioning being performed/timed correctly throughout all networks. Trouble reporting should be handled following processes and procedures developed by each entity. Troubles should not be reported to another entity?s field personnel directly. If order/repair processes are not followed, it is difficult to measure performance, trouble types, volumes or to initiate possible required billing.
