We found that ICTC (Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company) and Frontier use the same tandem in Mattoon illinois... Frontier will pass calls from Frontier to ICTC... However, when we port a number from ICTC, they will not hand the call over to heartland communications, which is our new VOIP provider... I called the ICC(Illinois Commerce Commission) they told me I had to call the FCC they told me until I contacted a lawyer and they would not talk to me... I can't believe the red tape...
In the meantime, I have customers in Frontier Communications, that are losing service due to this mishap... _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Galatians 6:7-8: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
