Telephone numbers are central to today’s communications. They permeate every process in the service provider and are the key to customer identification, network routing, and revenue. Their critical nature has not been lessened with advances in network technology. In fact, telephone numbers have become even more important due the explosion of services made available through these new technologies.

Competition and growth in customer acquisition drives constant changes in telephone number ownership and use. So much change in fact that over 40% of the numbers in use today are no longer with their original registrar .

Because the scarce numbering resource is administered outside of the carrier’s control, service providers are required to register number stewardship with various regulatory bodies. These authoritative data records reside outside of the service providers’ infrastructure in databases like NPAC, BIRRDS, PAS, and NANPA. Those same data are replicated for operational purposes inside the company in various forms such as LERG, LSMS, LIDB /CNAM, various extracts, spreadsheets, databases, and CRM/OSS/BSS platforms. With so many files and so much change, it’s no wonder service providers spend significant resource and attention on number management. Neustar helps simplify number management.
