We run into the same scenario. Frontier bought Verizon and because of the rural area maintained ILEC status. No Portability. We were able to get around this in a few areas by partnering with a CLEC that had DID’s & portability rights in these areas. Use this site to search for providers.

They make it almost impossible and drown you in paperwork and most people give up. That might be the same case here. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Barnes Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 9:10 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [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?
