[WISPA] Porting Number to VoIP
I live in an area in Eastern Indiana that used to be Verizon and now is Frontier. I have gone to a VoIP system at my office and love it. I got an ATA to setup my home, got the temp number and started the port process and My home exchange cannot be ported by my provider. It is different than the office exchange. They are checking with Level3 to see if there is anything more that can be done. I want to start offering VoIP to that exchange but if I can’t get the port to go I will have very few takers. What is my next step. What should it do before I file a complaint with the FCC? Steve Barnes General Manager PCS-WIN / RC-WiFihttp://www.rcwifi.com/ WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Porting Number to VoIP
The FCC has nothing to do with it. The number isn't the problem, the origination carrier. That's like complaining to the FCC that you (Steve) don't offer service in Canada. If you didn't try Level3 before who did you try? We had 20 or 30 origination carriers before we could port 99-100% of numbers. 1 or 2 big ones cover 95% of numbers.

Re: [WISPA] Porting Number to VoIP
Hi Steve, Here is a nice thread with a lot of good info related to LNP. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24697102-Rural-number-porting- situation-is-geographic-LNP-live- To get around this you will need to find a Carrier that is somehow connected to that exchange or has a switch in that lata to be able to port that number. While it is more convenient for your VOIP provider to blame Frontier, the real issue is that your VOIP provider either directly or indirectly does not have any (interconnect) services in your local exchange area.

Re: [WISPA] Porting Number to VoIP
In some areas where there is only the ilec (usually small communities) you do not have the option to port numbers.

Re: [WISPA] Porting Number to VoIP
That form is if the LSP isn't being cooperative. I never encountered a reason to use that form over tons of numbers porting. There is no crime against stupidity or negligence, which accounts for all of the issues in porting.
