Unless things have changed recently... A virtual NXX is an NXX assigned to a subscriber that comes from a rate center that does not physically contain the subscriber. If you live in HACKENSACK, and your TN is from NEWARK, you've got a virtual NXX.

Is that some class of clever remote call forwarding schemes from a CO where the call between it and your rate center is rated LD by the ILEC, but which some call forwarding product manages to get around or mitigate somehow? Or does it refer to carriers picking up inbound calls at the LATA supertandems by carriers from rate centers in which they don't have direct end-office trunking and whose number blocks are not homed to the tandems (any tandems) to which the carrier is connected? This was rather common during the dialup boom and often skirted the 'DS1-of-consistent-usage = DEOT needed' requirement in most form ICAs, as I understand it. -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (678) 237-1775 _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
