To be honest, that is the logic we ended up with, and are dumping our
LCR. The savings aren't worth the headache. We don't have 1M numbers,
but we have a significant number. We can't quite get down to one
carrier (and don't really want to), but we can keep outbound calls on
the carrier that "owns" them, and not worry about this.

use more than one carrier--and there are other reasons that
stir/shaken is a big deal for some of us.
It clearly isn’t a big deal for you, so you probably don’t have much
to add to the discussion.

1: 1M DID’s? Then I would go straight out and say you are a phone
operator, and then getting your own STIR/SHAKEN certificate shouldn’t
be a problem at all. Thats a massive amount of numbers,
unrealistically many numbers for any company ever except for those
that are a phone operator.
2: For me, its seems like hunting for nano-cents. I checked around
when I got my DID and call account for my own personal use, and the
prices aren’t that different. Its really not worth the effort for what
you save. Checked with several operators and the prices are almost the
same per minute, its like one operator has like 0.016 per minute and
another has 0.014 … not gonna save much on that. Might save like 1$-2$
per month on choosing the latter operator.
3: Why? Consolidiate all your agreements to 1 single operator that
handles everything, and everything will be so much simpler. Then you
are simply a trunk ccustomer to that particular operator, no need to
handle all this with signing and certificates and everything..
To save a little tiny nano-cent from each minute of call..

Hi,
I wanted to add some comments to Sebastian's response:
1- When you have a lot of DIDs, you can't just "port" them over from
company1 to company2. Try to have 1M or so DIDs and ask if you can
just port them. No no, not that simple. There is a process that a lot
of times is not worth the cost/risk/etc.
2- What happens if company1 has very good pricing for DIDs, but
extremely high rates for placing outbound calls, and company2 has
super aggressive pricing for the destinations you use most, but sells
DIDs very expensive? Mix and match? :)
3- What do you do, when instead of having 1 outbound carrier, you have
several 50?
At the end I think you are mistakenly comparing apples to oranges,
your DID provider has nothing to do with your outbound carrier, can
the DID provider also give you outbound calling? Most likely, but that
doesn't mean that the best way to go is to route outbound calls via
the carrier that is providing you DIDs.

I reallt don’t understand why people simply use the same operator
to terminate your calls, which also provide DIDs for you.
Then you don’t need to touch this at all, your carrier will do all
the STIR/SHAKEN handling for you, you are just a PBX customer.
And then the operator then simply limits your account to only
present your DID as outgoing number.
Seems to be a unneccesary complicated solution just to have your
numbers at company 1 and have your call termination at company 2.
So fricking unneccessary.
What I know there is requirements of number portability, so as
long as company 2 can handle DIDs (ergo ”own” DIDs) you should be
able to move your DIDs from company 1 to company 2 – then company
2 owns your DIDs.
Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen

Hi Jeff. What exactly do you mean by the 'inbound piece'? I've
spent quite a lot of time with the folks at TILTX understanding
the framework; but I am not exactly sure what you mean by the
'inbound piece.
Greg/Doug, like many folks here, we use LCR. So, the terminating
carrier is not necessarily the one that issued us the telephone
numbers. So, they will not sign it or simply cannot sign it.
Remember that a very limited number of companies can actually sign
the calls; the rest have to buy it from these 'Service Providers'.
And there is another situation - the company you purchase your
numbers from and the company you place your calls through may be
different and both may not be able to sign your calls. Again, a
very limited number of service providers that can actually sign
your calls. So what do you do in that scenario? You have to find
a Service Provider that can:
1. Verify you own that telephone number(s).
2. Sign your calls.
3. Provide you with the technical means to do so.
So, that's that... I hope this makes sense.
Alex
