An interesting wrinkle I'm running against is that you cannot port
numbers
from a cellular carrier to a landline. i.e. I can't port my cell
# to a DID
on my PRI. I am not sure if this is just a line of bullshit fed
to me from
Bell Mobility (Canadian CDMA carrier) but I've not had the time to
really dig
in. They claim that between cell carriers numbers are portable
but not from
cell to landline.
You can but no one is required to so most dont. Generally speaking no
one will want to touch that becuase of potential problems.
Its not technically impossible but it is not likely to happen for
other
reasons.
We have successfully ported cell numbers.
However from your above statement - porting points the number
directly to you and becomes a DID.
Pointing a cell number to an existing DID would actually be a forward
which may or may not involve a port, and does involve many other issues.
Of course I am not in Canada either.
