Right, but interestingly it was always a Frontier number. I've heard a
similar explanation before (that they need an interconnect to that
area), but I'm wondering if Frontier somehow made that difficult to
achieve. Then I wonder: Isn't there a central LNP database? (Used to
be Neustar, but it's another company now). The LNP database tells a
caller where to send the call....why would they need a physical
connection to any particular place to make that happen?
.....and yeah I haven't had this issue for a long time so I stopped
caring. But I'm betting Lewis is seeing something similar. If so,
check Voip Innovations and maybe one of their 20+ carriers can port the
number in.

Not serving a particular CO in a LATA could be that CO is attached to
a tandem (in the case of multiple tandems) that the VoIP carrier
doesn't connect to. It could also mean that there is a high volume of
calls with that particular CO and the cost for them to get a PRI
directly to that CO is prohibitive. If you have over a certain volume
to a particular switch, the tandem operator will often make you
connect directly to that switch, reserving tandem switch capacity.

I've had a VoIP carrier tell me they can't port the number because
they can't serve that LADA or that CO or some such. I never
understood why that was an issue.
I don't think it's been an issue recently.

Contracts are only held against the little guys.
