As I'd written to this same thread:

So yes it is possible from Bell Canada, however you are using a different PRI 
switchtype emulation than I am, and it may not be allowed with your 
switchtype.  You could contact Bell Canada and see if they can change your 
switch emulation but I know that it is at least $250 to change anything about 
a provisioned PRI, and there's still no guarantees that you'll be able to set 
it.  I think it's very much something you need to specifically ask, and when 
you ask you raise eyebrows and they start to wonder what you're up to.
