The present invention provides a system and method for achieving local number portability. Local number portability is a feature that allows a customer desiring to change local telephone service to maintain the same telephone number regardless of the service. To achieve local number portability, the present invention maintains and manages a communication scheme between and among regional telephone service providers throughout the country. The present invention includes interface applications between the invention and regional providers, regional telephone data repositories, invention telephone data repositories, and downstream data processing applications. The present invention is particularly directed towards the interface between the present scheme and the downstream processing applications. The interface includes subsystems which assist in communicating data records between the present scheme telephone data repositories and the downstream applications. The data records include, for example, activated, deactivated and modified telephone numbers.
