Not serving the LATA makes sense. They'd have a build out cost to that area's tandem switch(es).
Not serving a particular CO in a LATA could be that CO is attached to a tandem (in the case of multiple tandems) that the VoIP carrier doesn't connect to. It could also mean that there is a high volume of calls with that particular CO and the cost for them to get a PRI directly to that CO is prohibitive. If you have over a certain volume to a particular switch, the tandem operator will often make you connect directly to that switch, reserving tandem switch capacity. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> To: af@af.afmug.com Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2020 9:52:56 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] And there we have it.... I've had a VoIP carrier tell me they can't port the number because they can't serve that LADA or that CO or some such. I never understood why that was an issue. I don't think it's been an issue recently. On 4/16/2020 7:10 AM, Lewis Bergman wrote: We have tried to Port Telco numbers off of several frontier CO's without success.
