Abstract
Techniques are described for managing out of service telephone numbers (TNs) before returning them to active service. A telephone number profile score may be calculated for an out of service TN entering an aging protocol, the aging protocol comprising a pre-determined number of days the TN must remain out of service. The out of service TN may then be assigned a profile based on its telephone number profile score, the profile indicative of how quickly the TN will achieve one or more quality thresholds. The number of days from entry into the aging protocol it will take the TN to achieve the one or more quality thresholds based on its assigned profile may be determined. The quality threshold status of the TN may then be updated each time it crosses one of the quality thresholds. Once it completes the aging process, the TN may be placed into an inventory of TNs eligible for active service. Thereafter, the quality threshold status of the TN may continue to be updated each time it crosses one of the quality thresholds.
