IRC invite

So, I'm the new guy... and before someone got around to telling me the Voiceops list existed, I said, "wouldn't it be great if telephony people had a place to hang out?" And since I spend my days in IRC, that was where I started. It would appear this list is treading the same ground, so it probably wouldn't be all that bright for me to start another, but the IRC channel is already there, and I can't really rename it. So if you're a telephony type (and if you aren't why are you on this list? :-) and you're an IRC type, come hang out on irc://irc.freenode.net/#natog Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Interstate vs. intrastate rates

LERG
by abalashov＠evaristesys.com Aug. 6, 2012

Aug. 6, 2012

Many categories of information available in the LERG are not on LCG or any publicly available data source.? However, the most common, banal query - number block switch homing -is easily serviced there, yes. A lot of users of the LERG are looking for quite a bit more than that, though, particularly tandem homing.? The other problem that reduces the LCG is that you can't reasonably set up a bulk process against them. Yes, they've got an XML API, but just try using it to populate a nationwide code group. I doubt they would allow that even for pay, and it would take forever.? -- Alex -- Sent from my Samsung mobile, and thus lacking in the refinement one might expect from a proper keyboard.

US Cellular Incoming Call Issues
by telephonetoughguy83＠gmail.com Aug. 2, 2012

Aug. 2, 2012

Anyone else experiencing incoming call termination/audio issues from US Cellular customers? We are located in the Midwest and are receiving a lot of trouble calls. Incoming calls have one-way/no audio, don't connect at all, signal our switch multiple times (same call gets set up over three incoming trunks).
