It's been a long time since I've used NPAC personally but there is a cancel button if I recall correctly and it pushes the number back to the original pooling carrier.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Say a subscriber ports a number to/from a different telco. Then, after some time, the subscriber decides they no longer want the phone number (or phone service in general). What should be done with this abandoned number? Should the number immediately be returned to the donor telco? Should the number be returned to the donor telco after aging? Is it permissible for the recipient telco to add this number to their inventory and then re-assign the number to a different subscriber? _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpuck.nether.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fvoiceops&data=05%7C01%7Cgreg.stone%40race.com%7Cbc900d0c35e74b76f34308daadf1aa95%7Cc4f7941052bf4601be443afdc7670fe9%7C1%7C0%7C638013550723280018%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8jxDiA2LWg3yPXDSnc5SbtsYYJ%2Bti3XcjX01bIohEFs%3D&reserved=0<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpuck.nether.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fvoiceops&data=05%7C01%7CGreg.Stone%40race.com%7C8158f613b4924658b09308daadf34b8a%7Cc4f7941052bf4601be443afdc7670fe9%7C1%7C1%7C638013557703973687%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7y7cAUJAy7YiJgrBc%2FjpwXaGcz4zCEvGCKduyaaoV3c%3D&reserved=0> _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
