Telcordia LCA provides this data http://www.trainfo.com/products_services/tra/downloads/lca.pdf Combined with the LERG you can get everything you need for NPANXX & LCA I have a script that eats it up and injects it into my Broadworks NS for local call routing. I use it for proper rating (billing trusts the Broadworks rating) and 7 digit dials when available. -Matt -- Matthew Crocker Crocker Communications, Inc.

I have a related side question. Is a local calling area determined by the LRN of the ANI or the DNIS? ~Jared On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 11:49 AM, Matthew Crocker <matthew at corp.crocker.com> wrote:

LRN shouldn't matter, because you can't port out of a rate centre. It is determined by ANI and DNIS.

You can port out of a rate center what u can't do is port out of a LATA so if you're a clec the LRN does truly matter for cost depending how you route your tandem traffic vs VoIP traffic. On Nov 14, 2017 1:42 PM, "Alex Balashov" <abalashov at evaristesys.com> wrote:

Well, correction; you can port to a CLEC that can pick up the traffic at the tandem without DEOTs. That CLEC can have an entirely different local calling footprint and a different tariff. LCAs are basically an ILEC/RBOC concept, and that is the concept in which I am discussing them here. On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 06:54:34PM -0500, Alex Balashov wrote:

PPS. The catch is that the CLEC would have to pay switched access as opposed to reciprocal comp (or reciprocal bill-and-keep) when moving calls in a manner that would normally incur LD charges moving between ILEC rate centres intra-LATA. I think? -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/

Yes you are certainly correct they only pay a fraction of a fraction of a penny based on an old mileage calculation. You can easily avoid this charge with trunks to the tandem in the location in question. On Nov 14, 2017 2:01 PM, "Alex Balashov" <abalashov at evaristesys.com> wrote:

The NPANXX of the CallingParty sets the rate center. The rate center sets the list of all local NPANXX for the CalledParty. If the CalledParty NPANXX is in the list then it is a local call.

Correct.....and the tariffs of the called party's carrier identify determine whether the calling party is making a local or toll call. Local calling areas are very weird with the ILECs because two rate centers can make a local call to the same rate center but if you make a call between those two rate centers it's considered toll. For example, in my area Franklin and Murfreesboro are considered local to Nashville, but a call between Franklin and Murfreesboro is toll.

Local calling areas were determined by the ILECs/RBOCs. CLECs can offer their customers a different local calling area, but I believe the CABS billing is still determined by the ILECs/RBOCs local calling area, which is listed in their tariffs.
