Automatic 911 location updates
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Oct. 26, 2018

Oct. 26, 2018

Is anyone doing this yet? The ability to detect the location of a phone and automatically update the 911 address? Yes, I realize it's a difficult if not impossible thing, yet thought I'd ask since a customer asked me.

Curious Caller ID issues
by darren＠2600hz.com Oct. 15, 2018

Oct. 15, 2018

Hi folks, About three weeks ago we began receiving random reports from different customers that inbound calls were displaying the Caller ID 845-789-0000. This is not the real caller ID of the originating caller, and does not appear to be their LRN, either. It is also not a scam call ? these are real, regular calls from normal humans / conversational traffic. In addition, the calls appear to originate from many different origins ? i.e. it?s not always the same caller, or destination, or city/state. The calls are real, legitimate calls, and the conversations proceed normally. But the CLID is wrong. The one thing we have narrowed down is that these calls all seem to terminate with one of our carriers ? Peerless. None of the reports we?ve received are for calls on Inteliquent, bandwidth.com, O1, etc. Peerless does not seem to be aware of any routing issue and is asking for more examples to investigate, but they?re hard to get, since it involves not only the receiving party noticing the incorrect Caller ID then prompting the caller for their real phone number and recording the date/time. (Of course, this is impossible to get clients to actually do). Oddly, a search for this number online reveals only this somewhat entertaining email thread on a Subaru mailing list https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-2019/497927-curious-cel… . It describes the same symptom, and seems to equate it to an iPhone update with bluetooth, which I have a hard time believing makes any sense. If I had to really guess, it could be the rollout of VoLTE and some misconfiguration on a wireless carrier network that is only invoked when using Bluetooth to make calls ? but boy, that seems like one helluva stretch. Anyone seen this before and/or have any other ideas how to track this down? We?re running out of ideas and are tempted to just port offending DIDs away to another carrier to see if it ?fixes? the problem, but Peerless has generally been good to us so I?d really rather leave the numbers there and just sort out the issue. But, we?re short on time ? the customers are becoming irritated and don?t like providing this information to us each time the Caller ID is wrong. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

LNP, tandems, etc.
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Oct. 6, 2018

Oct. 6, 2018

I thought you had to be on the same tandem to port a number, but with what our tandem operator (Frontier) is telling me, this isn't the case. Comcast ported a number from us in town A. The LRN they pointed to is based in town B (per TelcoData). The tandem generally used by carriers in both towns is based in town B. Naturally, we send traffic to that tandem. The operator of that tandem is telling us that the LRN is actually homed off of a different tandem in our LATA (operated by CenturyLink) in town C. Unfortunately, I can't corroborate this information with TelcoData the only rate center I see off of that tandem in TelcoData is an AT&T town next door. Where can I read up authoritatively on the porting requirements that would apply to this and related bits of info I should know? I'm checking on our LERG access as I know that has the authoritative information, but I don't have that access at the moment. Maybe we're not subscribed to it. Number NPA-NXX in town A: https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail?npa=815&exchange=… LRN NPA-NXX in town B: https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail?npa=815&exchange=… Tandem in town B: https://www.telcodata.us/search-switches-by-tandem-clli?cllicode=DKLBILXA50T Tandem in town C: https://www.telcodata.us/search-switches-by-tandem-clli?cllicode=DIXNILXA50T Thanks. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Anyone familiar with this carrier? We've been getting a flood of FAS complaints that lead back to a media IP on their network, 77.73.68.227.

Question about billing on SIP trunks
by pdcraw27＠gmail.com Sept. 24, 2018

Sept. 24, 2018

Hello voice-ops: Enterprise admin here. We just converted from ISDN to SIP (and changed providers) and we're seeing some undesirable billing behavior. I'm hoping I can get some objective feedback from different providers. If a call comes into our system, and we forward it off-net using the SIP trunks (using either "standard" call forwarding or a call forking/paralleling feature like Avaya's EC500 or Cisco's Single Number Reach), we send the call with the SIP FROM header of the original caller (which is desirable to preserve callerID). We also include a Diversion Header with one of our phone numbers (the original destination of the call). We're being billed based on the *original* calling number, which sometimes results in long distance charges, even if this leg of the call is local to us. This is particularly onerous if the inbound call is international! So, the question is- what *should* we be billed on: FROM or DIVERSION. At one point, the provider indicated that P-Charge-Info was supported, but now backing away from that. Do we have any recourse (technical or otherwise)? Thanks.
