they might be, however its the customer of the carrier, not the customer of the customer of the carrier. How is the carrier to know that someone isnt trying to steal a number? I would love to get 1-800-flowers for example, but the customer of the carrier would disagree with me on that one.
I think a lot of 'funny business' happens in the land of number porting. Our company is a customer of XO and we in turn have our own customers. A few weeks ago one of our customers ported a number away from our network (an XO DID), into some other network. We were shocked that this could happen. We called up XO and demanded an explanation. They dug up the LOA Letter which obviously did not have our signature and all that XO could do was apologize. They tried to get the number back but it was impossible. I could not believe this. It could have been our main sales number or any other critical number. After this incident, we lost all respect for the number porting process.
