Service portability

Service portability
It refers to the ability of an end user to retain the
same telephone number when changing from one type of service to another without necessarily changing their operator. (e.g., from old telephone service to ISDN)
2. Routeing stage
The call is re-routed from the intercepting switch to the new terminating switch.
Number portability -- Techniques -Mainly two broad categories of techniques are used to implement NP:
On-switch solution.
Switches are changing information to look for destination.
Off-switch solution.
Involves Databases usage to pick portability information.
On-switch solution (2/3) --Two main families- Solution Category 1 : onward routeing

Intelligent Network techniques are used. Best routeing of the call to the final destination.

Carrier Selection -- Definition -Its a mechanism that permits customers to choose national and/or international long-distance telecommunications carriers

CS : Generalities
The user has possibility to dial for each call the carrier operator that he wants to use. This service enables a fixed subscriber to select a carrier operator different from his local loop operator for the routeing of a specific call. This service requires the selected carrier to be interconnected to the incumbent's network through at least one point of interconnection (POI).

CS : Restrictions
CS may be excluded from payphones.

Depending on country-specific regulation and interconnection agreements, local calls and special numbers (such as Freephone and mobile numbers) may be excluded.

CPS : Generalities
This service enables a fixed subscriber to select a carrier different
from his local loop operator for the routeing of the relevant outgoing
calls. The selection is done one time for a category of calls.
The subscriber can pre-select his carrier beforehand.
Implementing CPS
CPS option(s) of a subscriber have to be stored and memorised
