Dial in Compliance

Telephone number porting data helps marketers and researchers with TCPA compliance

Reaching customers by telephone is undoubtedly an essential part of your business. Regulations set forth by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibit the use of autodialers or pre-recorded voice messages to any telephone number in which the called party may be charged. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in large fines that may potentially damage the reputation of your company. With more than 600K porting transactions daily in the U.S. alone, it can be difficult to determine whether a telephone number is wireless or wireline just by looking at it.

Fortunately, there is a solution that helps companies complying with the TCPA regulations by identifying which telephone numbers are ported between wireless and wireline each day.

What is the NPAC?

Every year, millions of Americans change Service Providers while keeping their telephone number. This process, known as portability, is supported by the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC). Comprised of seven regional systems across the U.S., the NPAC manages the number portability processes of all telecom Service Providers in the United States, including wireline, wireless, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

The NPAC is managed by iconectiv, serving in our capacity as America’s Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA)
