Infutor Service Identifies Telephone Disconnects that Ported to Broadband or Wireless Telephone Service

PLAINFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Infutor Data Solutions Corp., the market leader in providing high quality database products, announced today the general availability of the Reconnected Ports File. This new database service provides marketing, collections, retail, financial and even directory assistance companies with name, address and phone information for disconnected telephone records that have been ported to broadband or wireless service and are still active.

“Disconnected telephone service usually means that a customer has moved,” said James Healy, Vice President of Marketing for Infutor Data Solutions Corp. “But what if a customer only ported from a traditional to a broadband or wireless service? Believe it or not, processing directory assistance new connect and disconnect records can inject errors into your database.”

Infutor employs proprietary processes and vast, current and historical databases to validate disconnected telephone service, and enrich the listing information. The Reconnected Ports File is a comprehensive weekly file that delivers additional residential and business listing information unavailable in directory assistance files, like current address, previous address, current carrier, SIC-Code or demographic information, and other common data elements found in directory assistance records.

“Almost 1.5 million false, or phony, disconnects are removed from directory assistance databases each year, said Gary Walter, President & CEO for Infutor. “As more businesses and consumers port their telephone number to broadband or wireless telephone service, a larger number of valid records will be mistakenly removed from customer databases. The Reconnected Ports File can remedy this challenge, and will help businesses keep in touch with long-term clients.”
