Verizon Wireless and Cingular Sign Number Porting Agreement
BEDMINSTER, N.J. and ATLANTA, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Verizon Wireless and Cingular Wireless today announced that they
have signed an agreement detailing how they will port customers'
phone numbers between them once the first phase of local number
portability takes effect on November 24, 2003. The agreements
address operational details, such as the troubleshooting procedures
and communications protocols the carriers will follow during the
porting process. While the Federal Communications Commission does
not require carriers to sign such agreements in order to port
numbers, Verizon Wireless and Cingular agreed that formal porting
agreements would allow them to cooperate as efficiently as possible
during the LNP process, which is in the best interest of their
customers. About Verizon Wireless Verizon Wireless is the nation's
