[VoiceOps] Rogue 800 number

[Scott Berkman]

That below number is the Ameritech RESPORG ID service and I recommend it
too.

 

The two main issues are that it only gives you a generic code (which you can
usually look up here:
http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/resporg/resporg-ids.html), and that "native"
numbers (ones owned by certain carriers in certain ranges) get a "not in the
DB" response.

 

Another RESPORG lookup number is the following one from Sprint, but this
gets you to a person, not an automated system, and only during business
hours:  (800) 578-1000

 

If you pay someone to act as your RESPORG, you should also be able to
contact them and ask them to look it up.

 

Good luck,

 

                -Scott

You can find out the resporg by dialing 800-337-4194. It'll give you the
Resporg ID, carrier and the support number associated with that company.

Hey all, just wondering slash curious about something. I have a client who
had their domain pseudo-typosquatted and whomever is behind it went as far
as registering a toll free number with a professional sounding AutoAttendant
referencing the victim company's name and the owner on a dial by name
directory. There are no accents/typos in the autoattendant and dialing an
extension, as we all can imagine, is likely being call forwarded or trunked
elsewhere.

In any event, I would like to track down what carrier is responsible for the
number but have had no luck asking/enquiring/etc to my carriers (big 3-4
Level, VZ, Global, Paetec)... Any takers on tracking who owns this number?
