I need 100 DID's in a specific rate center (916-854-xxxx). How do I go about finding who owns the rate center ? If the DID's are available in this rate center ? Thanks Vikas
If you're using them outgoing only, you should consider "spoofing" the number (IE calling using XXX-XXX-XXXX and presenting as 916-854-xxxx). This would cost you $0.04-$0.06 per call, but you wouldn't need as many DID's. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Vikas Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 12:46 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] DID's in a specific rate center I need 100 DID's in a specific rate center (916-854-xxxx).

Since it's not clear from this thread of conversation, do you need 100
unique DIDs? If you do:
That NPA is owned by Pacbell with the central office: SCRMCA12
I don't know if anyone but Pacbell will have numbers in that NPA.
Since I use them and am happy with the service, you can try
contacting http://www.jnctn.com and ask if they can get numbers
there. I do see they have others in the Sacramento area, in fact I
have a Sacramento number with them already.
If you don't and you just need outbound channels you can buy one (or
more) DIDs and then use that as the caller-id setting for all the
outbound calls. This is perfectly legal since you own the DID that you
are using as the caller-id. The channels you are using for outbound
calling don't have a DID associated with them so you need to associate
it with one by setting the caller-id to an owned/valid DID. They don't
have to be unique.
What is illegal is to set caller-id to a fraudulent value such that the
person on the other end will not be able to correctly identify the
originator of the call.

There are sites which will show you the ratecenter and the company. Try the following to see all NPANXX's in that ratecenter: <http://www.telcodata.us/telcodata/ratecenter?ratecenter=SCRM%20MAIN&state=CA> To find the ratecenter: <http://www.telcodata.us/telcodata/telco?npa=916&exchange=854> Try 01 Communications . . . they may sell them.

Look it up at www.localcallingguide.com. The name on record there may be the LECs name -- then you need to find a SIP provider or DID handler that has a business relationship with that LEC. For example, in the state of Iowa Vonage obtained (at least some of) it's numbering resources from McCleod.
