What is the NPAC?

Every year, millions of Americans change Service Providers while keeping their telephone number. This process, known as portability, is supported by the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC). Comprised of seven regional systems across the U.S., the NPAC manages the number portability processes of all telecom Service Providers in the United States, including wireline, wireless, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). 

The NPAC is managed by iconectiv, serving in our capacity as America’s Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA).
