Isn't there anything crafty you can do like order 10 POTS to the location. Wait 30 days and port the numbers to cell phones. ILEC no longer controls the numbers.
Find a CLEC in the state who has a switch and port the numbers to them. They provide the SIP trunk.
Order a quality internet connection to the site in question and bring up the SIP trunk with a CLEC. You have 10 numbers to work with.
Well, the issue is: port these numbers out to whom? It would have to be someone who is interconnected with Windstream [in a way serviceable for that particular area, as per Windstream], and that's exactly what's missing here.
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? http://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-by-ratecenter-state?ratece... But I am way up here in NH with a single area code for the whole state. Things are simpler here. matt
