A METHOD FOR SEAMLESS PORT CAPABILITY FOR AN ALTERNATIVE SERVICE PROVIDER

摘要

A method provides seamless porting of a user telephone number from a frist telephone service provider network (120) to a second telephone service provider network (132). A network interface device (135) is provided that is interconnected to the first telephone service provider network, a second telephone service provider network, and at least one user communications device (110). The network interface device may be remotely controlled using the second telephone service provider network to transfer the user telephone number from the first network to the second network.
