MNP United Kingdom and Porting Authorization

We are introducing Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in the United Kingdom. This implementation enables customers to move their mobile numbers between providers while complying with the UK’s donor-led porting model. The system supports Port-In, Port-Out, PAC and STAC requests, along with the necessary Porting Authorization handling and related webhooks, ensuring a compliant and efficient porting process for UK customers.

Non-Breaking changes

UK-Specific Porting Schemas:
The system now supports Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in the United Kingdom, allowing customers to port their mobile numbers between providers while adhering to the UK’s donor-led porting model. This includes handling Port-In and Port-Out requests, as well as managing PAC (Porting Authorization Code) and STAC (Service Termination Authorization Code) requests, ensuring a seamless and compliant porting experience for customers in the UK.
Porting Authorization APIs/Resources:
New Porting Authorization APIs have been introduced to support end-to-end lifecycle management of PAC and STAC requests. These APIs provide capabilities to create, retrieve (get), list, cancel, and close porting authorization records, ensuring complete operational control and visibility over the porting authorization process within the system.
New Webhooks for Porting Authorization:
To support PAC and STAC requests, the system introduces a Porting Authorization component that manages the creation and lifecycle of these authorization codes. When a customer requests a PAC or STAC, a corresponding Porting Authorization record is created and maintained in the system. Additionally, related webhooks are implemented to notify external systems about important events and status changes associated with the Porting Authorization process, ensuring proper coordination and timely updates during porting and service termination workflows.
