Years back I had problems with number porting to a VoIP provider and now – seven years later the problem still exists as evidenced by TMC’s Tom Keating who recently tried to and couldn’t port his number to a VoIP carrier.<\/p>\n
Interestingly I recently got to know an LNP specialist at a SIP trunking provider who was telling me about LNP horror stories. Certain carriers in rural areas just didn’t have to port. I couldn’t get anyone from the provider to go on record so I never wrote about the situation.<\/p>\n
Here is my article<\/a> from 2004 complaining about LNP, one<\/a> from Tom Keating in 2006 and here is Tom’s latest story<\/a> about the trouble he just had with a number port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Years back I had problems with number porting to a VoIP provider and now – seven years later the problem still exists as evidenced by TMC’s Tom Keating who recently tried to and couldn’t port his number to a VoIP carrier.
