Abstract

A method and system for delivering information obtained from an information delivery service database with a location routing number obtained from a local number portability database. A communication is received from an originating user number and directed to an end user number, and a determination may be made as to whether the end user number is a portable number. If the end user number is portable, then the end user number is compared to a plurality of ported numbers in the local number portability database for a match to one of the plurality of ported numbers. If the end user number matches one of the plurality of ported numbers in the local number portability database, then a location routing number is obtained corresponding to one of the ported numbers. In addition, information corresponding to the originating user number is obtained from the information delivery service database. Next, a signaling message is populated with the information. Finally, the signaling message with respect to the routing of the communication based on the location routing number is transmitted. The signaling message includes the information obtained from the information delivery service database. The information may comprise an originating user number, a name, or a combination of the originating user number and the name. Therefore, the task of obtaining the information corresponding to the originating user number from the information delivery service database may further comprise obtaining the originating user number and name.
