The present invention provides a system and method for auditing and reconciliation of a telephone service provider's database and a central or regional repository. Both the database and repository contain data records. The data records include telephone number porting information that facilitates tracking and porting of telephone numbers. The system comprises interface means between a service provider's database and the repository. The method includes user interface which facilitates selection of auditing and reconciliation choices, including amount of date to be analyzed and downloaded, the type of data and data processing application and time of operation.

System and method for auditing and reconciliation of telephone service provider's databases with a regional or central data repository

The present invention allows a telephone data repository to communicate with an external system, the interface system comprising a first communications link connecting the telephone data repository to an interface, a second communications link connecting the interface to the external system, and the interface configured to retrieve a plurality of telephone data from the telephone data repository via the first communications link, format the plurality of telephone data into a plurality of formatted telephone data that is compatible with the external system, and to send the plurality of formatted telephone data to the external system via the second communications link. The present invention also provides a method that allows a telephone data repository to communicate with an external system, comprising the steps of connecting to the telephone data repository via a first communications link, connecting the external system via a second communications link, retrieving a plurality of telephone data from the telephone data repository via the first communications link, formatting the plurality of telephone data into a plurality of formatted telephone data that is compatible with the external system, and sending the plurality of formatted telephone data to the external system via the second communications link.

System and method that allows a telephone data repository to communicate with an external system

A system for maintaining a customer's telephone number when a switch from one service provider to a second provider is made interfaces with a regional customer number database to keep track of local numbers and the corresponding local service provider which services each number. Service providers interface with the database and obtain information at the telephone number level that permits individual providers to determine which carrier is providing service to which telephone number. A neutral third party maintains and administers the database allowing free access by any participating provider.
