I figured someone in this list from telcodata could swing it. There are cell phone companies and a couple of CLECs like ALEC LLC (IBBS.com I think they are).
And Windstream cannot possibly block a port to a cell phone company. I though the FCC solved that issue years ago. Right?

But I am way up here in NH with a single area code for the whole state. Things are simpler here.
Portability happens within rate centres, not area codes. In many places in the country, those usefully overlap, but not all. For instance, here in Georgia, the NPA 706 is split across three geographically disparate regions, two of them in LATA 438, and one of them in LATA 442 (Augusta). Thus, in order to be able to port a number to a different carrier, the receiving carrier needs to be interconnected in the right LATA, to the right ILEC, and have trunks on that interconnect to the right tandem to which the switch(es) in that rate centre are homed. It's not just a matter of operating in the same state, or in the same NPA. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 235 E Ponce de Leon Ave Suite 106 Decatur, GA 30030 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/
