NPAC (Number Portability Administration Center) is the centralized database that maintains records of all ported phone numbers in the United States. NPAC is the authoritative source for determining which carrier currently serves a ported number.
NPAC's Role
When a phone number is ported from one carrier to another, NPAC is updated with the new serving carrier information. All carriers query NPAC to route calls correctly.
Why NPAC Matters
- Authoritative data — The official source for ported numbers
- Real-time updates — Reflects current carrier status
- 30%+ of numbers have been ported and are in NPAC
