Thank you for putting the issue in these words! It does not matter one wit's bit that I can call out until I'm blue in the face using my new outgoing carrier. Hell, the *only* reason I was forced to move away from Packet8 in the first place was because they do not offer BYOD for their business services. I would have been more than happy to pay their business rate and maintain the level of service that I had before we ourgrew the hosted PBX soltion they offer. The point is only exasserbated by the fact that I feel like the bell at the end of a *very* long rope at this point. It's also worse because I can't up and find a new provider now that I'm right smack in the middle of a DID change to the new carrier. As a web developer I am used to propogation delays for things like domain name changes or DNS server moves so I know that nothing can be done about the situation until the port is completed. Phone service is a convenience that we have all grown complacent with, when it works it should work well. When it doesn't work we want to know why it isn't working and when it's going to work again. The simple lack of that knowledge is the most maddening part of this whole issue. > 2. Who is ultimatley responsible for LNP - the "current DID owner" or the > "future DID owner". The new carrier is responsible for filing the LNP request and submitting it to a third party verification and action organization. > 3.

The way I understand it is that if the current carrier does not respond to the LNP request within 60 days (something like that) then the port is automatically approved. Most companies don't respond.
