Well, *IF* VZW had never had a porting relationship with that SPID, they would have to communicate some how to establish that relationship. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oren Yehezkely" <orenyny at gmail.com> To: "Carlos Alvarez" <caalvarez at gmail.com>, "voiceops at voiceops.org" <VoiceOps at voiceops.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 2:58:32 PM Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Verizon says they have "no relationship" to port from thinQ/Commio IMHO there is no need to call anybody. The guy in VZW just does not know the work. If I undertook you correctly.

I've never worked in "real" telecom so I don't know those deep details of the porting process. VZW's message said they were trying to contact Commio and couldn't get anyone to answer a phone. Not shocked, per my previous message about thinQ's ethics, I feel they are questionable.

I've heard it referred to various ways, trading partner, carrier partner, porting partner, etc. Obviously, Verizon should know that, but maybe all they need is to be shown that you're not a slouch, and that you're not giving up. Is ThinQ their own LEC or are they just a fancy API on top of Level 3, Bandwidth, Peerless, etc.? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com From: "Carlos Alvarez" < caalvarez at gmail.com > To: "VoiceOps" < voiceops at voiceops.org > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:12:21 PM Subject: [VoiceOps] Verizon says they have "no relationship" to port from thinQ/Commio A customer is porting a number to VZW, and they can't figure it out. They called me to ask if I had "more info" to help them port out from Commio. My return call went to VM, so I don't have more info, but thought I'd ask here on the list. Any ideas on how this can be, or what to recommend? I know Verizon is a small carrier, and may not be wise to the ways of telecom. _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops </blockquote> _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
