Hahaha, 24 hour LNP, where fantasy fails to meet reality.
But anyway another problem of the losing carrier not realizing they lost the number is that they keep routing it internally. That means anyone on that carrier can no longer call the number. This is getting bad, to where we run into it at least once a month.
The proper solution would be for them to do LRN dips on every outgoing call regardless of whether the number is presumably on-net, but it's understandable that they may not want to do that for cost reasons. And without the OSS+NPAC integration Paul referenced, it's pretty hard to stay on top of the on-net routing table fastidiously enough to not let port-outs--let alone stealth port-outs--slip through the cracks. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/
