Anyone out there (in the US) using a CLEC to do third party local number ports? Let me be more specific; Our inbound calls come in via inbound only PRIs from a local CLEC, our outbound calls go via SIP termination to a wholesale VoIP carriers softswitch. On the inbound numbers we use the carrier of record is the CLEC that we buy the PRI from, not us. When we bring a number on to our system via local number portability the number is actually ported to the CLEC that provides us the wholesale PRI. This is know as a third party LNP. Anyone doing it now? The real questions is what are you paying per number port? We have no reference for what this should cost and therefore do not know if the proposed rate is competitive and fair. Any input appreciated.
One of our local carriers charges 17 cents per ported DID MRC, no port/non recurring charges. I've seen in the neighborhood of $15 per 10 ported numbers as an "LSR" charge from other carriers NRC.. and as low as 5 cents MRC per Month. I've also seen cases with no MRC per DID per month, but an NRC per number. -m On Thu, 7 Apr 2005, Damon Estep wrote:> Anyone out there (in the US) using a CLEC to do third party local number > ports?

Under what type of relationship? Are you a CLEC, ITSP, or Retail Customer? Is the local carrier you mention the incumbent or a CLEC?
