Number Portability (LNP), or Mobile Number Portability (MNP), allows people to
keep their phone number when changing service providers. Mandated by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to
increase competition among service providers, number portability was instituted
in the U.S. for wireline phones in 1996 and wireless phones in 2003. The Number
Portability Administration Center (NPAC) is the system that is used to
facilitate number porting.
