    receiving, by the network proxy from a network entity, a request to provide routing information for an incoming communication associated with a particular MSISDN;

    determining, by the network proxy, that the information indicates that the particular MSISDN is active but is not currently the single enabled MSISDN;

    changing, by the network proxy, the information to identify the particular MSISDN as the single enabled MSISDN;

    obtaining, by the network proxy from a mobile network switch, a temporary routing number that the mobile network switch has mapped to the single enabled MSISDN; and
