Need some assistance...

We are trying to acquire some numbers that are in XO's Inventory but none of the aggregators we work with resell XO Services. Thought I would ask here. This would be a one-time deal I suspect so you'd probably make a quick fee off me for your efforts. The issue is lame ? the provider we worked with who sold us these numbers went bankrupt without telling us, and now the numbers (which were active) went back into inventory. We need to grab them back before they disappear. Please email me off-list. Thanks, Darren

Nov. 9, 2012

I have a partner company in the UK that wants to trunk to my network in the US to bypass international call charges for his UK users. This is simple to do, but i'm wondering if there are any FCC regs on bypassing PSTN carriers. Hope there is enough information here for an answer. thx shri

Strange calling patterns
by ryandelgrosso＠gmail.com Nov. 7, 2012

Nov. 7, 2012

All, So I know with the election tomorrow all bets are basically off for weird calling patterns but I have seen some really strange stuff today and was hoping someone else might have seen it as well or be able to validate some theories. I had a number in a Michigan exchange receive 99,000 inbound calls in a single hour (no that is actually ninety nine thousand) and that user had their number forwarded off to another overloaded Michigan exchange so it generated nearly a million outbound call attempts as my system attempted to find an open trunk to get through. Earlier I had a similar case with a Florida exchange where a single user received 150,000 calls in an hour all with invalid source numbers, and all arrived through otherwise reputable origination carriers (L3, Paetec etc). The commonality here is that in both cases the customer account had no registered device and had forwarding setup, and the destination for both was an overloaded exchange in a swing state. In all cases I have suspended the accounts and stopped the traffic but it still doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. My first inclination is this feels like some kind of DDOS to hurt polling or last minute campaigning since if the attempts were legitimate they wouldn't be winning supporters by calling them 150,000 times but im really open to ideas here. Anyone out there with some experience or theories, feel free to chime in or reply off list if paranoid. -Ryan

Local ringback on SIP 180 from Broadsoft media server vs phone generated RBT
by johnbotha＠hotmail.com Nov. 6, 2012

Nov. 6, 2012

We are debating on having our Broadsoft media server generating RBT on a SIP 180 vs having the phone generate it locally, which is currently the case. We have found sporadic ringback issues when the phones generate local RBT when it plays one ring and then goes silent or no RBT at all. This only happens once out of approximately 10 calls though, and signalling looks normal (ie no 180 followed by 183 or duplicate messaging). The end-user hardware devices are mostly Polycom. Does anyone have some experience, advice and information this?

Hi, Is anyone seeing any storm related issues yet? I've got the expected drop in calls as the NE shuts down, not much more on the radar. I'll be watching/updating this list (and outages) tonight for any significant events. Thanks, David PS: Having your machines prepped for disaster is good, but what about your people? All that expensive gear might not be not worth much if you've got no one to operate it when the big one hits. After all, even first responders don't respond if doing so would imperil their families... are your people wired in to ready.gov?

Rejected port due to having other orders active on the account
by carlos＠televolve.com Nov. 1, 2012

Nov. 1, 2012

This doesn't seem like a valid/legal reason to reject a port. Integra has always done this with both our own account with them and any other accounts we're porting from. If there is ANY open order on the account, they will reject a port. This could be simply ordering some DIDs or doing another port. In the current case, as has happened in the past, it's going to end up costing an extra month on a PRI. Is this valid? Anyone have experience getting them to see the error of their ways? -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003

Hello, One of our ULC PeeringPartners (now Unipoint / PointOne) has some DIDs with 360 networks. In the last days those DIDs give a message that the number is 'unallocated'. Does anybody have some information about a problem with one of those companies? Thanks, Oren
