Just for everyone's benefit......you are referring to a SOA provider that can do the inputs into the NPAC LNP database for you......correct?

Either a 3rd party or directly with Neustar. Once you have access to a "system you can pull information on a specific TN as to what SPID they belong to. Then you will know what company to talk to, to get their ordering requirements. Thank You, Natalie Howard 1stel, Inc.

I have the basic concept of it but haven't really got involved in doing it so I'm not sure how most CLECs gather the information they need to port a number to themselves. I know the LECs LSR system usually has a lot of information about existing services so I told him to look there, but what do most of you that actually do porting use to pull the information you need on the service provider that you want to port away from?
