[cisco-voip] list of mobile destinations outside of North America?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

i think number portability in North America is slightly different than in the rest of the world. 

where we can port a number from landline to cell, and vice versa, if portability exists elsewhere, i'm guessing it's restricted to the same type of number. higher rates for mobile numbers outside of North America have been around for a while, and i don't see them going away any time soon. 

from Wikipedia (cause if it's on the internet, it's true!) 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_number_portability 



Canada and the United States are the only countries that offer full number portability transfers between both fixed lines and mobile phone lines, because mobile and fixed line numbers are mixed in the same area codes, and are billed identically for the calling party, the mobile user usually pays for incoming calls; in other countries all mobile numbers are placed in higher priced mobile-dedicated area codes and the originator of the call to the mobile phone pays for the call.

If you can port numbers like in the US how would that ever be accurate? (I’m presuming you can’t lookup individual numbers)

Does anyone know of an (online) database, like www.localcallingguide.com , that lists whether a number is a landline or mobile device? 

I'm hoping to simplify a manual process where called numbers have to be looked up and charged accordingly whether they are a landline or mobile number. 

At the present time, I'm not looking for alternatives to the charging model (I know they're out there), I just need to be able to distinguish from landline and mobile. 

I'm aware of one at AllStream, but it's a query based tool based on country. I could probably write something that grabbed the first page, grabbed all the countries, then grabbed the prefixes, but I'm hoping for something simpler.
