Methods and systems for processing messages at a first network node in a
mobile communications network are disclosed. A first message relating to
a communication in a mobile communications network that includes a called
directory number is received. A lookup is performed in a first database
based on the called directory number to determine whether a called party
has been ported out of a first network and to determine a migration
status of the called party. In response to determining that the called
party has been ported out of the first network, a first reply message is
formulated including first routing information from the first database
that indicates a second network to which the called party has been
ported. If the called party has not been ported out, a second reply
message is formulated including second routing information from the first
database that corresponds to the determined migration status.
