Abstract
Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented to utilize a computing device to receive, from a communications network, a first signal to indicate that a subscriber, such as a subscriber of a mobile communication services carrier, has initiated an electronic transaction. The method may include detecting, utilizing one or more data stores, a record of a transfer of a subscriber account identifier and, in response, determining whether the transfer corresponds to a porting event initiated by a subscriber or initiated by a communication services carrier. The method may further include transmitting at least a second signal on the communications network, in which the at least the second signal indicates authentication, authorization, and/or verification of the electronic or digital transaction responsive to determining whether the transfer corresponds to a porting event initiated by a subscriber or corresponds to an event initiated by a communication services carrier.
