[VoiceOps] Mobile vs. Landline Lookup

[Paul Timmins]

The only way to know for sure is real time LNP dips. What was a landline 
an hour ago could become a cell phone in a matter of seconds.

The LNP dips will still need a database to look up the returned LRN in, 
which is where telcordia's databases (or mine, (shameless plug) 
http://www.telcodata.us/) come in.

You can use telcordia's or mine to do some basic pre-scrubbing of 
numbers for basic validity, exclude known wireless ranges (which COULD 
be landlines, as you can port wireless numbers to wired as well! I don't 
know your application but I thought I'd mention that) etc.
