Toll free number search.
by mylists＠battleop.com Dec. 23, 2009

Dec. 23, 2009

I guess I am not using the correct key words trying to find this info out. I have a customer that's asking for a specific toll free number so I am trying to find out who holds a toll free number. The obvious step was to call it and see if anyone answers. That was done and it appears to be a non-working number. I am sure there is some way to find out who holds this number but seeing as how I have never had a need for this I don't really know where to start. Richey

10 digit craziness
by hiersd＠gmail.com Dec. 23, 2009

Dec. 23, 2009

For the good of the order... We just worked through an issue in which 10 digit domestic calls were being routed (correctly) as domestic but rated and billed (incorrectly) as international. 503-nxx-xxxx were rated for El Salvador, etc. We caught it pretty early, and the carrier fixed it for us. Still, it was a pretty interesting problem to work through, and something to add to your list of "things that can go wrong". Best, David

Ouch! Yeah working with carriers the deal with both National and International traffic it's always best to stick with one of the below setups to avoid billing/routing issues of this kind: - 10D National Dialing with 011+CC-NDC+STNC for International - Full E164 (with or without the "+") for both National and International Helps preventing calls to Toronto avoid going our to Switzerland.

Old code vs bold code
by hiersd＠gmail.com Dec. 21, 2009

Dec. 21, 2009

I've been snooping around our production systems, and the base code version for everything that we run in the call path is between 2 and 3 years old. It is patched to a fare-thee-well, and the stuff runs quite well. We use only top-tier vendors, yet can't recall ever being happy on code that is less than 1 year old. Too many bleeding edge bugs for my current medication level. How 'bout you guys? How long do you let a codebase steep before you're happy with running it in production? Thanks, David

OT: Voice Equipment
by itservices88＠gmail.com Dec. 18, 2009

Dec. 18, 2009

Hi all, I am preparing for my CCIE Voice lab, which needs voice equipment hands on practice, and i don't have enough money to pursue that. Would it be possible if someone has spare phones like Cisco 7960g, PVDM modules, fxo/fxs VICs, mc3810 voice gateway, Digium T1/E1 card, 2621/3640 router or any other related equipment. I am in Pasadena, CA and can pick if available locally, or i would be happy to pay the shipping cost via paypal. Please send me any email off list. Thanks and appreciated. -aam

LERG Data
by jrandall＠comwave.net Dec. 16, 2009

Dec. 16, 2009

http://www.localcallingguide.com <http://www.localcallingguide.com/> is generally pretty good but compared against LERG information it is not always 100% current. I've compared LERG NPANXXs against LCG a few times and there are sometimes prefixes present in LERG that are not yet present in LCG. One thing that's great about this site though is that aside from NPANXX information you can also use the data on this website to establish local calling area maps between rate centres. This information is not even available through LERG alone.

Hi, I'm looking into adding SMS services to L3 and VZN numbers, and want to run my own message center and sip/smtp/whatever gateways, and hook into the cloud with a provider like syniverse. Tips, traps, tricks, and war stories welcome. Thanks, David

SMS receive security
by nicholas.hatch＠gmail.com Dec. 10, 2009

Dec. 10, 2009

Hi all, Reading the last thread on why SMS isn't/should be dead, I almost piped up with a thought before I realized I should probably check my head-sphincter interface, first. Many banks use SMS messages as an out-of-band authentication factor for online banking. (ie, they send a challenge code to the customers phone in response to an online banking request) If one assumes that cell phone SMS messages can't be intercepted out of the air by a forged device or through other means, they operate as a quasi-physical authentication factor, which is very valuable. This would be a strong use case for SMS over email or other general-purpose communication mediums where the password or other knowledge can be bootstrapped into access to the medium. However, I'm not so sure this assumption is correct. Does anyone have good references for the security of SMS? The most I've been able to find is this Slashdot article [1]. -Nick [1] http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/21/1858233
