Local Number Portability

Local Number Portability (LNP) allows you to keep your existing phone number when switching between different phone service providers within the same geographic area. This means you don’t need to update contacts or inform others of a new number, making the transition seamless. LNP is managed through a centralized database that helps routing calls correctly, regardless of the service provider. This system promotes competition, offers consumers flexibility, and ensures continued access to their familiar number, enhancing convenience without sacrificing the stability of local calling.
