Thanks Ian, that would make sense. I wish Bell would have informed me of
this after all my calls.

  Okay, I needed to know, so I asked someone who would.  Alan Cross,
  program director of 102.1 The Edge is known to store these kinds of
  facts in his unusually large brain...

  Alan says: Those exchanges are special "high volume" numbers assigned
  to busiess that receive a lot of phone calls.  The phone company
  installed special circuits to handle sudden, massive volumes of calls
  so the rest of their system doesn't blow out.  They were installed
  back in the 80s when radio station contests were threatening to
  disable phone service over wide areas.

  So there you have it.  Probably why they won't give it to you.

    You trying to get the Edge Input line's wrong numbers?

    I've never explored why, but lots of publicised numbers in
    Toronto are from the 870 and 872 exchanges.  My innitial thought
    on that is that those numbers were sold to Toronto media
    companies in the days before LNP with the ability to move them
    around.

      On a similar note I am trying to figure out to whom the
      number 416 872 3342 belongs to as I would like to port it to
      a sip carrier such as Unlimitel. Unfortunately Bell claims it
      is not theirs and are not able to tell me who owns it. The
      number is not in service. Is there a way to find this
      information? And are there any restrictions for porting to a
      voip carrier. Thanks for any info.

        Hi Jim,

        Yes, if you are moving your DID to a Local Exchange
        Carrier (LEC) but under certain circumstances.
        For example, you cannot take your DID if you're moving
        from one local exchange (city) to another local exchange 
        - e.g. you cannot move a Toronto

        416 to a Brampton address.  But you can port a 416
        Toronto number from  Bell to Sprint as long as both old
        and new addresses are in Toronto.  You may also port
        DID's if you're only changing service providers and not
        changing addresses.

        You cannot move from wireless to wireline - say a Bell
        DID to Rogers. (I heard Fido has a way of doing this, not
        sure).  Bell, Telus, Rogers, Sprint are all registered
        LEC's.  It is in the interest of these LEC's to support
        LNP.

        Juan
