Contacting Carriers and CLECs (Specifically T-Mobile today)

Does anyone know of a centralized list or standard method of reaching other CLECs and Carriers, specifically Cell Carriers? Something similar to Puck's NOC list (http://puck.nether.net/netops/) is what I am thinking of. We are having some routing issues to certain numbers we own from T-Mobile and are having issues reaching the right type of support staff, especially since you can't even get their regular support without an account. Thanks, -Scott

Even better, when we've gotten through to them and actually opened a ticket, after finding someone with a T-Mobile phone, evidently the rep has something like 3 minutes to explain the issue to their NOC and convince them to take the ticket, at which time the call terminates and they have to try again, or something goofy like that. T-Mo was the absolute most horrid experience we ever had with routing issues. If you find one, definitely share it! Scott Berkman wrote:

We've found that if we don't know someone from the inside, or have a partner in the inside, is to get a T-Mobile customer to open up a trouble. It takes a day or two, but they do get resolved.

We've had the same issue arise during ports, primarily from T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless. The below link will take you to the ATIS website that has two contact documents for various carrier NOC's (Company Specific Contact Directory and LNP Contact Directory). The contact directory is very extensive and includes LNP Trouble Reporting. You'll need to register with ATIS.
