- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoI can't blame them if I had a service I would do the same.
- simfree 4y agoAre you really going to check the LRN for each user's number every day? If not, restricting to wireless only is pointless. Bandwidth.com will happily port in and out phone numbers from wireless carriers in minutes, you could easily have a wireless number flip and flop between a CLECs OCN and a PCS or wireless OCN multiple times an hour.
- simfree 4y agoWhat qualifies though? Are US Cellular, Inland Wireless, Viaero, Verizon and such whitelisted? If so, which of their operating carrier numbers are whitelisted? Or are they doing this the ghetto fabulous way by NPA-NXX carrier allocation without checking the current underlying LEC? More than one of the carriers I listed will sell you SIP trunking and texting on their wireless OCN, breaking most schemes of this type. Registering on a wireless number and immediately moving it to wireline or VoIP is another major threat to this model.
