A cross-connect switch for implementing local number portability between a current local service provider originating switch and a desired local service provider ported switch. The cross-connect switch comprises an Originating Dial Tone (ODT) port, a Ported Dial Tone (PDT) port, a Main Distribution Frame (MDF) port, a switch, and a controller. The ODT port receives a first line from the originating switch associated with a subscriber's directory number. The PDT port receives a second line from the porting switch associated with said subscriber's directory number. The MDF port connects the cross-connect switch to a MDF associated with the originating switch and the ported switch. The controller is in operative communication with the switch, ODT, PDT and MDF ports. The controller includes a processor programmed to receive a predetermined signal from the ODT port and, in response, establish a communication channel between the PDT port and the MDF port, and open a communication channel between the ODT port and the MDF port. With the present device, the programmable switch can be implemented and triggered remotely to coordinate local number portability migration requests from a current local service provider to a desired local service provider.
