Rate Center Geodata
by calvine＠gmail.com March 20, 2023

Is there an authoritative source for rate center latitude and longitude? Is there a free source for this data? I'm aware that BIRRDS/LERG has the Switch CLLI coordinates, but I don't know if the rate center virtual coordinates are also there. NANPA said, "NANPA doesn?t have this information. We suggest you check with a vendor who creates rate center maps, but we can?t recommend one." Is rate center data centralized, or invented by carriers and 3rd parties?

Call recording and single party versus all party consent states
by caalvarez＠gmail.com March 19, 2023

Our servers are in AZ. We have customers who are based in AZ, but also have satellite locations in CA and other all-party consent states. I believe that in the case of a CA caller reaching an employee in CA, then that state?s laws would apply. Does anyone here know for sure? Does it matter if the DID is AZ based or CA based?

Off-Net Numbers
by voiceops＠ics-il.net March 17, 2023

Historically, we used multiple entities to get us off-net numbers. Who, what, when, I don't know. I have off-net numbers configured in my Metaswitch where I don't know who our upstream was, if we still have them, who they belonged to, etc. I can easily figure out what CLEC has them now, but we all know that there was probably someone between me and them, I just don't know who. Is there any likelihood of being able to determine that? I assume the different CLECs that "own" these numbers are not going to tell me who their reseller was, for me to then follow up with. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Neustar SOA Archives

How many of you are still using Neustar SOA? Any better ways of getting this information? After some personnel changes, we're cleaning up our systems. Things haven't been maintained properly over the years. We're going through disabled (but not ported away or deleted) numbers in Metaswitch to see what their fate should be. I ran an SV search for all ported out numbers, exported to Excel, and then had my staff compare that to what we had configured in Metaswitch, along with seeking their recommendation as to whether we set it to ported out, keep it as-is, or delete the entry entirely. That recommendation would be with our guidance as to when to do what. I spot checked their recommendations and found some messes. One of which is that the SOA export just managed to skip one line from 2018, so that was fun. Another is that a number that a former customer had doesn't show up on that list for ported out, but does show up on the ported in list. When I do an SV Query, it shows up as someone else. How can that be congruent? Is there a way to get more that current and 1st prior? Is the SV search supposed to include everyone that ported away from us, or just those that had us as their first prior carrier? I'd like to not have them issue an SV query for each potentially ported away number. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com
