Is it possible for US DID to have Canadian service address?
Good day, Coming from Canadian CLEC background. Have tricky question for US LNP and associated guidelines, truly looking for your feedback. For the purposes of LNP, is it possible for US number to have Canadian service address? Major US CLEC does not even allow us to enter Canadian address that we know is a service address for a US DID we want to port-in with them. So I conclude either of the two possibilities is true: (1) Their portal is doing right, and the Canadian address we are trying to enter is not the true service address for the number in question. We should dig deeper and there must be some (perhaps place-holder) US address behind the DID. OR (2) Their portal is not implemented right, and simply is not designed with this small but possible special case in mind. So which of the statements would be true? Many thanks, -Victor
(3) Porting is inconsistent and awful, and there are no rules. Maybe there are rules that would prevent a CA address from being on the CSR for a US DID... but I wouldn't be surprised if those rules were not followed. Also, many resellers put their own US address on the CSR, rather than the end users, maybe to follow the rules, maybe because that's just easier. Good luck!
