asterisk users - Nov 2017 - Looking for the carrier that owns a particular DID

All;

    I have a customer who is looking for a particular DID. (I dialed it and
it is not in service). I searched through my preferred upstream provider's
list but I came up empty. I wrote them, and this is their reply.

 

"We currently do not have that specific number in stock as this number is
owned by another carrier that we do not have a business relationship with."

 

So my question is this. How do I find out which carrier owns the DID in
question?

Thanks;

John V.

This suggests that they either:

 - identified who owned it, and hence established that they had no business 
relationship with the owner, or

 - identified that it wasn't owned by any of their business partners, in
which
case they may genuinely not know who does own it.

Either way, it's probably worth asking them, in case they have no objection
to
telling you, but simply didn't provide the information as it wasn't an
answer
to your question.

Failing the above, I would start with the relevant country's telecoms 
regulator.
