There are some exchanges that we serve that don't have another option for us to move those numbers over to. Some are serviced only by Level 3 (since acquired by Lumen but I believe the L3 voice platform has largely remained as it was), some by only Sinch (f/k/a IQ f/k/a Onvoy), and a select few by both. We don't have our own interconnect with the ILECs @ tandems or COs ourselves.

I know it's not exactly a 1:1 comparison, but I had a client that hosted mail with a provider that turned really *really* spammy. When everyone started blocking their /24, my client asked us to migrate their mail to some place more reputable. They had to pay a bit more, but haven't had a problem since because the "better" provider didn't accept spammy clients. -A On Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 3:13 PM Nathan Anderson via VoiceOps < voiceops@voiceops.org> wrote: I mean, assuming they actually are a bad (or at least indifferent-to-badness) actor, and if that's the only thing they will respond to, then sure. But they are really big in the VoIP-to-PSTN interconnection space. Vast majority of our own customers' DIDs are serviced by Inteliquent (now Sinch), so this would REALLY suck for us. -- Nathan From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-boun...@voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Aaron C. de Bruyn via VoiceOps Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2024 2:54 PM To: Jeff Brower Cc: voiceops@voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Good day to block 239-367-XXXX Ha! Now I recall where I heard that name--Intelliquent. Maybe with the FCC being all up in a tizzy recently, they'll allow the major carriers to drop Onvoy/Intelliquent unless they clean up their act. -A On Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 2:50 PM Jeff Brower <jbro...@signalogic.com> wrote: Hi Aaron- Not sure if accurate or still applies, but from 2021: https://scammer.info/t/onvoy-the-safe-haven-for-phone-scammers/81641 -Jeff Quoting "Aaron C. de Bruyn via VoiceOps" <voiceops@voiceops.org>: Anyone else seeing a huge increase in spam calls from 239-367-XXXX? I've had zero calls from that block in the last 6 months, but in the last 24 hours we've seen at least 3-4 calls per hour on our own phone system and around 100 per hour on systems we manage. They all show up as coming from Onvoy LLC. The volume is enough that it seems like someone would sit up and take notice. -A _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps@voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
