We would just be porting, not moving an NXX.

Maybe you didn't read it. Maybe you don't know whay your talking about in this 
specific instance.  Maybe I don't.  I am betting just this once it's you. 
Unless you have been a carrier in a remote rate center trying to get those 
NXX's somewhere else you may not be aware how this works. 

You can't port an NXX. You have to modify the LERG and assign those numbers to 
a different CLI. You can't,  or at least didn't use to be able to do that, 
without paying transport fees.  Last time I tried it they refused, as is their 
right, to do it with anything other than T1's or DS3 which they would happily 
sell me. Of course I think Chuck would only have to pay the part of the circuit 
outside his rate center. 

In short, if you want to send an NXX somewhere, hook some Adtran boxes to your 
class 5 and route the NXX to it then send them wherever you like. That's the 
easiest solution and likely the cheapest long term.

Voip is way easier than circuit switched. I don't know why Chuck doesn't just 
get some voip solution and did it himself.  Freepbx, NetSapiens, ipifony, 
Dialogic. There are so many. 

Ten again maybe your just sick of the distraction which I can completely 
understand.

  NetSapiens does software. We have about 25 NXX's assigned to us.  There is no 
way a standard voip provider can do what you want Chuck.  You have to have 
somebody with an A-Z code and class 5 switch like you have. You then have to 
reassign that block to that switch.  You then have to route that to something 
that can turn it into voip. Your switch can I guess, I am sure you know.  If 
outside your LATA you have to pay mileage. I think you are the only one in your 
LATA right? 

  Anyway. Call me If you want to talk about it Chuck.  I saw someone on a voip 
list asking how to do this and describing your exact circumstances.  I am 
guessing you talked to someone about it today.

    CTI uses NetSapiens as do some others. They are a bit more expensive than 
some alternatives but if they do what they said they would do (handle 100% of 
all porting) that can be worth a bit depending on how big an ass your losing 
carrier wants to be. If this is going to be a main revenue source I would tell 
you to go ahead and go direct to NS. If not, probably a pretty good deal. 
Others on this list, Like Chuck Bender, might make you a better deal depending 
on what you want. 

    I don't do any residential but a key to VoIP success up front is to limit 
the number of devices you support. I choose to only support 3 phones and one 
fax. I don't do ATA's at all. Trunks I handle with Adtran only.

        Ooma has launched a partnership programs with ISPs.  It's not fully 
white label as it requires the customer to use Ooma equipment (which means you 
can't use your own ATA).  An interesting option for anyone looking to add VOIP 
service without any overhead.

        We're not doing this (yet) but have talked to Ooma a few times.  If you 
want more info contact Tim Sullivan: tim.sulli...@ooma.com.
