The service you are looking for is called PSTN Connection service, but you need to have either an FCC IPES certification (Direct Access to Numbering Resources) or a CLEC license. I have contacts at Inteliquent, Peerless, and Wide Voice if you need them. PSTN connection service is turned up on

At the suggestion of this mailing list, I started pursuing the IVP/IPES route instead of trying to do my expansions via CLEC authority. I've had conversations with a few companies to enable the IPES services, Verizon, Inteliquent, Intrado (West), and Peerless. I haven't talked to Wide Voice

I did want to circle back on this. I am currently a CLEC with traditional voice services in a single LATA on a single set of tandems. We have SS7, do our own porting, etc. I understand that going interconnected VoIP (instead of CLEC) may be easier for my expansions. So that I don't have
