I spoke to someone today at Thinq who said the same, and when I challenged them on HOW they move DIDs between vendors so quickly, he couldn't answer that. Bonded carriers through (Syniverse, Neustar?) with API integration can likely move numbers in a matter of hours, maybe less than an hour, and maybe the "multi-vendor" solution they have, they've whittled it down to minutes, since they have access to the approvals or at least the CSR data since they are in-bed with the three vendors. This would still require the losing vendor to be able to positively respond to the Port Out request, and if they had technical issues, that might not work.

This seems to be a bit disingenuous. I don't believe that they can multi-home or move DIDs quickly? Or am I wrong? Could they actually solve the current problem? DIDs are the only issue; we simply moved outbound.
