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. <br></blockquote><span><br><span name="x"></span>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (ANNU)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.

Does anyone know of an (online) database, like <a href="http://www.localcallingguide.com" target="_blank">
www.localcallingguide.com</a>, that lists whether a number is a landline or mobile device?
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
