As a CLEC, we offer forwarding back to the PSTN on a per concurrent channel
basis for this type of stuff. Before doing so, we need to know the expected
channel volume and type of business (ie, our rates are SIGNIFICANTLY higher for
call centres).

You can only port a number to a PRI if it is in the same rate centre as
the
PRI. That's standard practice for all telcos, except for some that may
offer
virtual multi-rate-centre PRIs (usually for an extra fee).
Use localcallingguide.com to look up the rate centres of your current
DIDs
and any DIDs you are interested in porting.

Subject: [on-asterisk] Can a 416 number be ported over as a DID onto a
905
PRI link from Bell Canada? Reps tell me NO and I don't understand why.
Hi Everyone,
Just got off the phone with a Bell Canada PRI rep and was disappointed
when
she told me that a 905-686- and 416-686- number can not be
ported
over to a PRI link which is sourced from the Melton exchange 905-405-
x.
Both the 416-686 and 905-686 are currently SNR from Bell Canada.
The reason was that none of these numbers are from the same exchange
and
that NEVER a 416 can come onto a 905 PRI. I understand the rationality
behind different exchanges but I thought this wouldn't be a problem if
it
was brought over as a DID.
Previously we asked Bell Canada to port over a MALTON010MD switch
number
(belongs to Allstream) to Bell Canada switch MALTON22CG1 and they said
it's
not possible as a standalone business number but then they were able to
bring it over as a DID onto the MALTON22CG1 and take it away from
Allstream.
So, in practice, it's possible to change switches and even snatch it
from
another provider. I don't see why they won't bring over a 416 or 905-
686
that belongs to Ajax-Pickering over to a Malton switch. Do Rate Centers
determine the portability rather than the switches whereabouts? Are
they
only doing because their billing system is not capable of tracking
calls if
numbers are moved to different rate centers?
Can someone please shed light on it or let me know if I was talking to
a rep
who was misinformed?
Also, we can try to port this number out to a third party and then port
it
back into Bell if that makes a difference or if it makes them accept
it.
Thanks,Bruce
