Hi everyone, I stumbled on this list recently and have been reading through the archives. Thanks for all the information you've all shared. We're a CLEC in Illinois and are in the middle of building a FTTH network in our home town. In December our exchange 217-777 was effective. We're using ANPI's Tandem service for our Feature Group D traffic and using our ILEC (Consolidated Communications) as our intralata/local tandem. No troubles on the Intralata/local terminating traffic, however, we're having more and more reports of different people out in the world that can't call our customers. It started with AT&T Cellular, that's been resolved, then we heard from Sprint PCS, that's been resolved. Next was Comcast Business, that's been resolved. Latest example is a caller from Texas who is on Time Warner Cable: LRN: 12543004000 OCN: 583C LATA: 556 CITY: WACO STATE: TX LEC: TIME WARNER CBLE INFO SVC (TX) DBA TIME WARNER CBL When they call us they just get dead air. I guess my questions are: How long after the effective date in the BIRRDS database do all of the switches get updated? Is this a typical problem with a new exchange/LRN? A follow up question: is there a service out there that will originate calls from many different telcos and if they fail, open up a ticket with that carrier? I'm running into roadblocks calling these carriers since I am not a customer. I've got a test number set up on 217-777-0001, "Thank you for Calling. You have reached a test number. Your telephone number is... " if there's anyone out there who wants to give it a test and report back, fine by me. It seems the more information I have the better. Thanks for listening, Adam Vocks

973432xxxx works to your test number on ATT wireless (347) 415-xxxx doesn't work via level3. Dead air then disco. Thanks, Shri Shripal

NECA has a call testing project that has recruited lots of originating and terminating carriers, but it's for call completion testing. The issue you're facing is not unusual - we make a point, when turning up a new NPA/NXX, to have a multi-week period of testing using as many different carriers as we can. For those who confirmed failure, they ought to call their wireless carrier's support line and open up a trouble. In our experience that leads to resolution 90% of the time in just a few days.

Thanks Frank, that would be great if some of you would open a ticket for us! We've seen that as well, when we can get a willing caller or if we can get a hold of a phone on a problem carrier, we can usually get it resolved quickly.
