Changing toll-free RespOrgs (Responsible Organizations) is different from number portability.
That said, the owner of a toll-free number has the right to change RespOrgs, so the question is "Who is the owner?" Has your customer been buying simple toll-free service and owned the number all along, or are they buying some sort of enhanced service and the provider owns the number? --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 888 Don Kell(y) 651 842-1001 fax -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff LaCoursiere Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 4:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [asterisk-users] 800 number portability Apologies for the off topic post... hoping someone knows if 800 number portability in the states is legally enforced? One of my customers is being told by their current "vanity" 800 provider that they own the number and refuse to release it to their new carrier. I thought I understood that in 1991 the FCC mandated portability by 1993. Are they bluffing? They want a 3 year buyout to release the number! j _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
