Abstract
A communications management system for implementing a freeze on electronic transactions. For example, a device management system provides a means of preventing the porting of at least one communication device account—such as a cellular phone number—from one carrier to another through a list of identifiers that include phone numbers, device identifiers, or personal identifiers that have been enrolled in the device management system through an interface by an authorized user. Advantageously, the device management system provides a revision to the existing phone porting architecture and enables fraud detection and prevention.
