Customers can now monitor the progress of their porting, allocation and cancellation transactions to see which carriers have updated their switches. The new-look system shows each customer their account balance. Customers can also opt to receive an email alert to help them meet their agreed response times for porting requests".

Martin Cantwell, Director of Paradigm.One said "We have spent considerable time perfecting this new Browser and have made use of the latest web technologies, in particular AJAX, to provide a responsive interface that is uncluttered, yet function-rich and intuitive for our end-users."
