They're definitely not possible across the country because long distance calls only do the LNP lookup after routing the call to the destination tandem. (That's the L in LNP.) Usually this is because their numbers can't support nomadic 911. It's more than that, long distance carriers couldn't

Yeah, I guess it makes sense at a technical level. Any CLEC can, in principle, pick up a call from anywhere in the LATA at the ILEC tandems (notwithstanding issues of DEOTs and all that), and they do so with regularity. I just thought there was something in one hundred percent of ICAs that

That's all we need to know. If the number is currently going to a cell carrier, it gets moved to a manual-dial bucket. If not, allow it to be auto-dialed. That's all. The regulations are a joke and are just affecting legit businesses doing actual work. The spam/scam operators just ignore it
