A lot of our customers have been asking how they can better scrub their calling lists to only call provisioned numbers. They do the normal DNC list scrubbing, but they need something more. Does the LIDB database have this sort of information in it as for as if the number is active and provisioned? I know it won't be perfect as a CLEC such as Level3 could have the number provisioned to an ITSP who just has it in inventory. It would help at least a little bit to be able to skip over the Not Provisioned numbers. If the LIDB can't handle this, what other database should I be looking for to do dips to? If it can do this type of thing (I know its mainly used for 8YY calling dips) where can we get access to the database? Regards, Jared Geiger

I don't believe that what you're after is possible in any kind of reliable way, just for the reason you mentioned. Doing LNP dips might scrub out some straight-up invalid numbers, but when it comes to provisioned, that's entirely at the behest of the operator to whom the block is homed and/or number is ported. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 235 E Ponce de Leon Ave Suite 106 Decatur, GA 30030 United States Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/
