LCA file for Broadworks across provinces / states
by jlam＠credil.org June 17, 2019

June 17, 2019

Hi, I was building an LCA file for a VoIP provider that uses Broadworks. I noticed that the LCA file examples I've been given only lists the rate center names, not the provinces. Yet in LERG6 and LERG8, short and long names for rate centers are not unique across all provinces / states. Sherbrooke QC and Sherbrook NS, for example, is listed as SHERBROOKE for both it's shot and long name. Should the LCA file distinguish these two rate centers by listing SHERBROOKE, QC as PQSHERBROOKE? If not, what field in NNACL should I use to distinguish them? Or do I have to start creating my own rate center names? Julien -- Make innovation easy http://www.credil.org/

I thought I remembered coming across a new portal, something like number blocks or chex or something. I was able to lookup both the current LRN as well as history. Does anyone on list know about this? Sean Salvadalena

[EXTERNAL] VoiceOps Digest, Vol 118, Issue 8
by Jamie.Montgomery＠comporium.com June 17, 2019

June 17, 2019

Cant say it's 100% correct, but based on LERG8's V & H coordinates, the two rate centers are 482 miles apart. It also shows that each rate center has two unique NPA's in them as well. I would think they would not be in the same local calling area, but I don't know Canadian tarrifs. Using a PERL script... Distance between Coord 1 (03003, 00615 [45.140833, -61.986178]), and coord 2 (03986, 01776 [45.397008, -71.891538]) is approximately: 482 miles Jamie M. -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps <voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org> On Behalf Of voiceops-request at voiceops.org Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2019 12:00 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] VoiceOps Digest, Vol 118, Issue 8 Send VoiceOps mailing list submissions to voiceops at voiceops.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to voiceops-request at voiceops.org You can reach the person managing the list at voiceops-owner at voiceops.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of VoiceOps digest..."

BroadWorks distinguishes the same names based on LATA. E.g., there are tons of ?Springfield?s and ?Albany?s in the US and Canada but in different LATAs. If you?re using BroadWorks LCA, then you?ll also need to load an NNACL-formatted file. (I think that?s usually excerpted from LERG6.) Of course, BroadWorks doesn?t really care where you get the data. It?s certainly possible to create inconsistencies.

AT&T Mobility Hawaii can not call Verizon Enterprise 808-822-2464
by anakaoka＠trinet-hi.com June 16, 2019

June 16, 2019

Hi, Hoping an at&t mobility engineer is on this list. Att mobility Hawaii towers can't call 8088222464 but can from US mainland towers so the tech support guys can't recreate it unless they are in Hawaii. 8088222464 is a Verizon Enterprise number and Verizon says they don't see the calls hitting their Network. They see the calls on the att network via ss7 but do not see the calls leaving att, so they can't make a ticket. Any help would be appreciated. Aryn Nakaoka 808.356.2901

Creating an International Rate Deck
by shripald＠gmail.com June 5, 2019

June 5, 2019

Hey group, I have a question that I have been struggling with for years and have never come up with a good solution for. It revolves around International Rate Deck creation, but i guess it could be for any tariff. We have multiple carriers for International, however, i'm trying out Thinq right now so we can use their LCR. Our other carriers aren't very successful with Intl. Thinq's rate deck to me is 6 carriers for each prefix, making it around 215,000 lines. The carrier(s) that have the lowest cost for each prefix varies, so i can't turn off the most expensive three or something like that. I was thinking of taking the least expensive 3 carriers and then averaging them and creating my rate from that average and then only allow Thinq to go 3 carriers deep. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there any best practices? The second part of the question is how does one calculate the profit margin? Let's say you wanted to make 35% for retail and 20% for wholesale, but if you call UK landline, the cost is only 0.004. Your rate would be 0.0054 for retail and 0.0048, which is nothing. We have been doing something like If your cost is less than 0.03, then increase by 35% or 20% or whatever. however, that doesn't always work if the cost is super close to your target. Does anyone have any hard and fast rules that they use when creating decks? is there software that can help my puny brain think through this? Thanks ! Shri
